David Beckham's Porsche on eBay: sale of fail?

[camshafted]

Beckham's matt black Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is for sale.

On one hand it looks okay in a rare kind of way - certainly better than those modified monstrosities seen in the middle-east.

But it's ruined by the '23' which is embroidered all over the car's interior. I wonder if it's a vanity thing or a "that will help it sell" extra. Considering his wealth, I imagine it's the former rather than the latter.

I'm surprised he's only just got rid of it. People have said Porsche and Becks should go their separate ways years ago...

I'd rather have a 'normal' one and certainly wouldn't pay extra for the 'modifications'

Each to their own though I guess. I imagine someone will pay the premium to own one of Becks' old motors.

His old Cerbera sold for more than it cost new IIRC !

Quite like the car but wouldnt pay more than the book price for it. I'm sure some muppet will though!

Dear oh dear.

Headlights look like they were painted by hand with a permanent marker.

I've never seen the reasoning behind paying extra for a "celeb" having owned a car.

Being sold through Chequered Flag I see which is one of the best showrooms I've ever visited. They used to deal in some lovely classics.

That looks utterly gash.

Luckily there are a lot of people out there who will pay extra for some 'celeb history'!

I hope this trend keeps up!

Simples, my car was originally purchased for Ann Summers!

An Escort. (tumbleweed rolls past)

A great way of basking in someone else's reflected glory. IMHO it looks awful and if someone had it and said it was "Becks' old motor", I would think "So what you sad git".

Would much prefer to buy a standard one.

Already at $153,000 suggesting David Beckham might be the only person in the world to make money on any car he touches.
