In 2021, David Beckham invested in Lunaz Design, an automobile company that mixes the contemporary (electric power) with the classic (think Rolls-Royce Phantom). And it seems the iconic footballer has passed on his love for cars to his eldest son, Brooklyn, who married billionaire heiress, actress and model Nicola Peltz on April 9.

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.

2. BMW M3 – US$78,000

Back in 2017, when Brooklyn was just 18, he was spotted driving his BMW M3 around Los Angeles, California. Not a bad upgrade for a teenager, the M3 can do 0-100km/h in four seconds and has a top speed of 250km/h (155mph).

Brooklyn has said he’s “old school” and “was always into classic cars”.

“The shape is important, but how it drives matters to me,” he told GQ magazine in 2020. “I’ve never felt more at home in anything than a BMW. I love the M3 and the old 5 Series that starred in the latest Mission: Impossible film.”

In 2007, he was also seen taking girlfriends for a ride in his retro-style Land Rover Defender 90, worth US$48,700.

3. BMW Z4 – US$50,000

Brooklyn now has a working relationship with BMW and got the opportunity to meet the makers behind his dream car.

“The Z4 is probably the meanest car I’ve ever seen. And it’s so quick,” he said in an interview with GQ magazine. “I went to Munich a few months ago and met the guys who designed it. They took me through the whole process, from start to finish.”

4. Jeep Wrangler Safari – US$46,000

In 2016, Brooklyn was driving a Jeep Wrangler Safari. He was dating actress Chloe Grace Moretz at the time, and was often seen taking the vehicle for a spin near the Beckhams’ family home in California.

It seems his tastes in cars is inspired by his father – David was once spotted driving then-11-year-old Brooklyn home in a Jeep Wrangler.

5. Jaguar XK140 – US$500,000

David and Victoria were guests at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 wedding and it seems they were inspired by the royal couple’s prototype E-Zero “just married” car when it came to picking a wedding gift for their son and new daughter-in-law. Brooklyn and Nicola were seen riding off in a 1958 Jaguar XK140 open-top two-seater, converted to run on electric power by Lunaz Design.

David has been an investor in the company based near Silverstone – the home of the British Grand Prix – since 2021. The vehicle he commissioned features modified brakes, suspension and steering, plus changes to the “dashboard, instruments, switchgear and controls,” Hagerty reports.

“In creating this beautiful, electrified Jaguar XK140, we are honoured to bridge the gap between David Beckham’s professional life, where he is an investor in Lunaz, and his family life,” Lunaz founder and CEO David Lorenz said.

“This remarkable car is the perfect gift to his son Brooklyn and daughter-in-law, Nicola on their wedding day. In every respect, this extraordinary electric classic car by Lunaz symbolises a bright, positive future.”
