David Beckham

Before he became a global football sensation, David Beckham was often getting from point A to point B in his modest Ford Escort. Beckham bought his Ford Escort from his former teammate Ryan Giggs in 1992, and it came with a 1300cc engine. The football superstar reportedly paid Giggs around 6,000 pounds for the Ford, and it’ll always be close to his heart. Interestingly, this Ford Escort was the car he passed his driving test in! You could say that this Ford opened doors for Beckham into driving far more expensive and exotic cars in the future!

It’s a bit comforting that the great David Beckham cruised around the roads of Britain in a modest 1300cc-Ford Escort. Since he’s achieved fame and success as a football icon, he’s moved on into driving far more expensive and exotic cars. The pro athlete is often seen driving Ferraris, Mercedes cars, and other luxury sports cars. Imagine the insurance and maintenance costs of all the vehicles in Beckham’s garage!
