Inside David Beckham's Car Collection: These Are His Coolest Cars
You've heard of Bend It Like Beckham, but what about "Drive It Like Beckham"? The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, England captain, and one of the world's best-ever soccer players is also an avid motorist. Let's take a look inside Beckham's $2.7 million car collection.
2015 Jaguar F-Type Project 7
This Jaguar, bought for just $165,000, is one of the cheapest cars Beckham has ever owned. Launched in 2013 by Jaguar, the F-Type is a performance car available as a soft-top coupe or convertible (Beckham's version). Beckham reportedly bought the car as a family Christmas gift, but it isn't the first Jaguar he's owned. Coincidentally, the side of the car is emblazoned with a "7," which was also Beckham's shirt number at Manchester United and while playing for England.

While we're sure the matching 7s are just a coincidence, Jaguar's performance enhancements on the F-Type are most definitely intentional. The Project 7 comes standard with a 5.0L turbocharged V8 engine capable of producing 567 horsepower and a top speed of 186 mph. It has a fixed rear spoiler and quad exhaust, and the body is made entirely of aluminum.
1988 Aston Martin Vantage
British classics for a British classic, right? Beckham loves this 1988 Aston Martin Vantage, powered by a 5.3L V8 engine. Producing 428 horsepower, the Vantage is all about a serene driving experience. Beckham acquired this convertible Aston Martin in 2003, one of only 78 ever made. The car was his pride and joy, and he even had the car shipped to Spain when he left Manchester United to play for Real Madrid.

Replacing the DB6 grand tourer, the Vantage was designed as a larger, more modern-looking vehicle that, in some ways, mirrored the Ford Mustang. Aston Martin produced six series of the Vantage for 20 years between 1969 and 1989. The 428 horsepower engine roared from 0 to 60 in just 5.2 seconds and had a top speed of 168 mph. Built with the "X-Pack" engine, Beckham's Vantage has a gorgeous red interior and exterior and a beige leather interior.
