Looks like a car previously owned by David Beckham is for sale. I know the fact his name was previously on the V5 will appeal but not enough to command this kind of price surely.

And if Mrs B has anything to do with it, it might look as if an elephant ( a la Pug AD) has sat on the rear end. Look what she ( or was it another elephant) did to one version of Range Rover.

Those wheels are ghastly. Didn't know the Beckhams were Jewish, either. hehe

£75k for a gold 55plate 6 series? There's a car waiting for the right sort of buyer if ever there was one!

Hmm, I wonder how long that will be up at that price.

Pants alloys, terrible colour and the fact it was owned by beckham does nothing for the value.

In fact, I dont see how any car is worth more because it was owned by someone who just happens to be well known.

The ad says its silver. I wonder if there name is on the V5. Can't imagine it'll sell at anywhere close to that price. What'd it be worth normally? £12,000 perhaps.

Always wonder why a famous name on a V5 bumps the price up. A few months ago there was a bloke asking thousands for an ex Phil Collins 520i touring...

Truly horrid. Think I'd probably go for the 63 plate coupe on eBay for 58k and then have 17k left for fuel.

I'd rather buy his car than David Beckham's.

Well you're in luck because there is an ex Phil Collins (apparently) E30 touring on car and classic!

As seen with Jimmy Savile, it can also be a risk buying an ex celeb's car, especially if their reputation takes a spectacular nose dive. IIRC, some bloke bought Savile's old Rolls Royce Silver Seraph for 100s of thousands, and is now left with a car worth little more than a normal, used, Silver Seraph. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Saville had a old range rover dormobile at one point as well. It was bought for a fortune and now his reputation is in tatters the car has vanished and the owner is keeping quiet about it...

hehe

I don't know, there was a lot of drumming coming from the suspension. I could feel it coming in the air.

IIRC that Rangie was the scene of some of his crimes/dalliances/rumoured assaults.

I'd burn the thing.

Maybe I should do an "ask seller a question" on this then -

A friend of mine went to buy that, but decided to buy another 2 door RR instead. We were only discussing yesterday how lucky he was!

Well at least you know you can sling a drum kit in the back.
