What’s in Brooklyn Beckham’s OTT luxury car collection? David and Victoria gifted him and new wife Nicola Peltz a US$500,000 Jaguar for their wedding, and he loves BMW and Mercedes
- Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz left their wedding in a battery-converted 1958 Jaguar XK140 open-top two-seater, a present from parents David and Victoria
- At 17, he was quoted US$40,000 as insurance for his Mercedes C-Class coupe and his favourite car is a BMW Z3 – he has a working relationship with the German maker too
We take a look at five rides in the 23-year-old photographer’s impressive collection.
1. Mercedes C-Class – US$49,000
This vehicle is said to be his car of choice when in London. At the age of 17, in December 2016, Brooklyn was spotted getting his fourth parking ticket for the luxury car after parking his hot wheels in the West London neighbourhood of Hampstead one afternoon.
Better than a speeding ticket, at least – the Mercedes C-Class Coupe goes from 0-100km/h (60mph) in 6.7 seconds.
Insurance agency Only Young Drivers was one of only two firms willing to cover the car, quoting US$40,000 a year.
Brooklyn was given a 10-month bonus accelerator policy, Insurance Business magazine reported. But based on factors including the location of his Holland Park, London home, occupation as a model, and his parents as named drivers, the premium still came out at US$9,500.
“Insurance premiums are based on the risk someone presents that they will have an accident and make a claim. Unfortunately 17-year-olds are far more likely to be involved in an accident than other drivers,” a spokesman for the Admiral Insurance said at the time.
“On top of this, a Mercedes C-Class is not a cheap car to insure and given his background and associates, I’m afraid Brooklyn is looking at a hefty premium.”
Large premiums clearly aren’t a deterrent though, he has also been seen driving around Beverly Hills in a US$134,000 Mercedes-Benz GL 63 AMG.
