David Beckham’s Aston Martin up for sale on Auto Trader for £445,000

If you've ever wanted to own an Aston Martin, which has previously been driven by a famous footballer, today could be your lucky day.

Manchester United legend David Beckham's Aston Martin AMV8 Volante is currently listed on Auto Trader - although you'll have to part with almost half a million pounds to get your hands on the wheel.

Former England captain Beckham is a keen luxury car collector, with everything from Rolls-Royces and Ferraris to Bentleys and McLarens in his garages.

Auto Trader described the plush-mobile as: "This vintage Aston Martin comes in deep red, with cream leather interiors, deep pile carpets and burr walnut interior, and features the sought-after X Pack upgrade for the 5.3-litre engine."

"With a five-speed manual gearbox and 432hp, the V8 can do 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of 170mph."

One of the most eye-catching aspects of the package, among Aston Martin collectors at least, is the X Pack engine.

The 1980s created engine boasts over 400 horsepower and exceptional performance - while Beckham kitted his out with a louder exhaust (because why buy a supercar and not let everyone know about it!)

Sadly, if you do save up the pennies to buy this car, you wouldn't be picking up the keys from David or Victoria themselves.

The Beckhams sold the Volante in 2018, having owned it for 15 years - and even shipped it over to Spain while he played for Real Madrid along with his personalised 'DB1001' number plate.

Auto Trader’s Rory Reid said: “We know David Beckham is a bit of a petrolhead, owning cars ranging from Bentleys and Rolls-Royces to, of course, Aston Martins.

"This AMV8 Volante is a gorgeous classic so I’m not surprised he held on to it for so long.

"It’s cool to know someone in the public can now buy this car – well as long as you’ve got half a million spare of course – just by heading onto Auto Trader.”
