Football Star David Beckham Sells His Modified Ferrari 360 Spider Car; More Popular Cars Expected To Be Sold

The former Manchester United football star David Beckham has announced the upcoming public sale of one of his favorite cars, the Ferrari 360 Spider. He owned the car during the peak of his career as a sports icon particularly around 2001 to 2003. The public sale is scheduled to commence later this month. Know why this car is a great steal.

The Ferrari 360 Spider owned by Beckman has undergone some modification which complements the vehicle's existing impressive specification. The car has a 3.6-liter V8 engine that propels from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph.

Beckham's Ferrari 360 Spider, which acquired only 7,800 mileage, is being sold by auctioneers H&H Classics and is due to go under the hammer with an estimate of $91,800 to $102,600 (£85,000 to £95,000) - a third cheaper than what Beckham would have paid, Yahoo News reported.

According to Express, aside from David Beckham's Ferrari 360 Spider priced at $864,000 (£800,000), another pick on the selection is 250GT PF Coupe. It is re-bodied as an LWB California Spyder. At the same time the sale will also feature the exceptionally rare 1964 330GT Nembo Spider, which is estimated to fetch at $540,000 (£500,000). Damian Jones of H&H Classics said that celebrity connection adds an element of intrigue to car sale, especially if it's owned by someone so iconic like Beckham.

The car will be sold at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire on March 29, 2017. As a car enthusiast, David Beckham has owned various exotic vehicles, such as a Bentley Continental GT, a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe and BMW 6 Series.

With the celebrity appeal of this car, it is expected that a great number of car lovers and David Beckham fans will fight over the vehicle. Also with the Ferrari 360 Spiders' specifications most likely it will definitely draw bidders in the event.
