Spend Like Beckham: Own Soccer Star’s Ferrari 360 Spider for $135K

David Beckham’s 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider is available for purchase in Bibury, United Kingdom, allowing football supporters and Ferrari enthusiasts to indulge in their respective passions.

In 2002-2003, when he was helping Manchester United achieve the Premier League title, and shortly before he moved to Real Madrid, where he would play alongside legends such as Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, and Roberto Carlos, the famous British soccer player purchased the vehicle.

Even apart from its association with the football legend, the Ferrari, which was painted Nero and featured a Sabbia interior, has just 7,900 miles (12,713 kilometres) on the odometer, making it an extraordinary example of the breed.

In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a six-speed ‘F1’ Graziano automated manual gearbox with paddle-shifters, forged BBS Challenge alloy wheels, carbon fibre upholstery, a Challenge rear grille and a Tubi sports exhaust system.

“The car’s condition, mileage, and A-list history make it one of the most unique 360s available,” said Matt Bird, editor of PistonHeads, which is listing the vehicle. “One would be hard-pressed to find a better Modena, even if they were unconcerned with the football connection and merely seeking one of the finest examples available. And for those who are, what a tale you’ll have to tell when asked about your Ferrari!

The Ferrari 360 Spider is propelled by a 3.6-liter V8 engine that generates 395 hp (294 kW/400 PS) and 275 lb-ft (373 Nm) of torque, allowing it to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.9 seconds. This example’s redline of 8,700 rpm will still impress your peers, despite the fact that it is somewhat less impressive than it once was.

According to PistonHeads, Ferrari 360 Spiders typically sell for approximately £60,000 ($73,394 USD at current exchange rates) in the United Kingdom. However, due to the car’s provenance and exceptional condition, a substantial premium is being requested. If you want to drive David Beckham’s previous vehicle, you will have to pay £110,000 ($134,556 USD).
