David Beckham has had his share of bad press behind the wheel with a few crashes, being caught using his phone while driving, and even being spotted without wearing a seatbelt. But there’s no denying that he is a car lover, with nearly $3 million worth of metal in his garage. Now, an Aston Martin AMV8 Volante owned by the footballer until 2018 is on sale.

“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 [Pound sterling] spare of course – just by heading onto Auto Trader,” says Auto Trader’s Rory Reid.
