Lots of celebrities own expensive cars, which comes as no surprise. But some own something interesting or distinctive, and in doing so, say something about themselves. e.g As per the Jacob Rees Mogg thread, the Tory anachronism drives a vintage Bentley, which is perhaps unsurprising, but makes him a slightly less awful person I think.

What other examples of interesting Celebrity cars have PHers come across?

I'm surprised Mogg doesn't drive a Morris Minor.

I always admire footballers who own common or garden motors. Bernardo Silva apparently drives a Smart car, whereas David de Gea drives a Mercedes Vito. I couldn't find a source but I'm sure I read somewhere that Duncan 'fix bayonets!' Ferguson used to drive a Fiesta van whereas Andy Cole had a old Mini.

Roger Moore used to drive a Renault 5.

A few years back, one of the Arsenal first team drove a Vauxhall Corsa, annoyingly can’t remember who

Old, but not vintage. Did he claim that it was?

It sounds like 'Daily Mail' speak for 'not knowing what they're talking about'.

JRM famously said he went out canvassing in Scotland everyone thought he did it in a Bentley but was actually "a Mercedes".

I remember a few years back when Stuart Pearce was nearly killed when he collided with a bin lorry and was lucky to survive. I remember being very surprised he was driving a rover 200.

He did claim it was his wife’s mind.

I was always a bit disappointed bobby robson had a bangle era 7 series. I don’t know why, but I just feel it fitted.

Edited- sorry, I see you said interesting.

Kante, Chelsea football player drives a Mini.

He originally thought he'd jog from home to training rather than drive, but got a car.. Crashed it and taped the door mirror back on hehe

If he lives in Oxshott ,like most of the team ,he probably could jog home from Cobham training ground.
