The 2001 Mercedes S500 L was bought by Becks new, the same year he scored his infamous free-kick against Greece for England.

It still features his original private number plate, which is included in the sale.

'DVB' stands for David Victoria Beckham and paperwork included with the car shows newspaper cuttings of David with the motor as well as a framed logbook.

David went for one of the most expensive models - the S500 with a thumping great 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine.

It's also the 'L' which means this one even longer than the standard car for more leg room on the days Becks and Victoria prefered to be driven.

The car has had multiple owners and covered a leggy 124,000 miles but it comes with a fresh service and a paint restoration.

The current owner also reckons they've just dropped £3,000 having the car's air suspension system fixed. Ouch.

This black behemoth comes with just about every last luxury you can think of, including Nappa leather upholstery, rear TVs, electric memory seats front and back, an electric sunroof and cruise control.

However, while it does mention that there is air-con inside, apparently it isn't working. Hmm.

But while you'd assume all this luxury would cost a fortune, you don't need to spend it like Beckham to have it on your driveway.

This very car has changed hands recently for about £11,000 and despite new work carried out since, it isn't likely to go for much more.
