David Beckham's old Lamborghini Gallardo up for auction as Man Utd great's Netflix documentary premieres

An eye-popping Lamborghini owned by David Beckham is up for auction.

The footballing legend bought the brand-new 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo during his time at Real Madrid. Becks owned the car for at least four years, importing it back to the UK after his time ended at the Spanish team and registering it at his London address.

Ed Callow of Collecting Cars auctioneers explains: "The Gallardo price new was likely to have been around £150,000; equivalent to circa £280,000 in today’s money. In this auction, I would not be surprised to see the car make as much as £130,000, given its remarkably low mileage and unbeatable celebrity provenance."

The Gallardo was supplied new via Lamborghini Madrid and has only 4,101 miles on the clock. With a top speed of 192 mph, the Lambo is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V10, delivering 500PS to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift.

Ed Callow adds: "It is ready to be enjoyed as a thrilling and highly engaging weekend toy, and would make a superb addition to a wider assembly of supercars."

Beckham played four seasons with Real Madrid, winning La Liga in his final season with the club.The auction closes for bids in the evening of Thursday, October 5.

The former United favourite is back in the headlines this week as a Netflix documentary about his life and career airs.
