For sale: David Beckham's convertible black Porsche is up for sale on eBay


David Beckham's matte black Porsche 911 Convertible Turbo is being sold on eBay.

The supercar, for which the sportsman paid $100,000 in 2008, before spending a further $50,000 on customising, has a current bid of $134,000.

The LA Galaxy star even had his shirt number, 23, stitched into the leather seats, as well as engraved on the steering wheel and rims to personalise the vehicle.

However, the car is being auctioned off by California car dealership Chequered Flag, after Beckham sold it a while ago.

Spokesman Neil Jaffe said: 'This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a unique supercar with unparalleled celebrity history.'

In addition to it's other standard functions, the Porsche has blacked out headlights, heated front seats, a six-disc CD changer and a built-in satellite navigation system.

Beckham and wife Victoria are a huge collector of cars, and own, to name but a few, a £300,000 Rolls Royce, which they have used to pick up the children from school before, a pair of top of the range £100,000 Porsches - a black one and a white one - a more functional Cadillac Escalade and a $40,000 off-road Jeep.

The pair are reported to be moving back to the UK with their three sons amid speculation Beckham is set to sign with Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the British team are thought to be waiting on a decision from Galaxy as to whether the proposed loan can take place.


Branded: The car features Beckham's shirt number, 23, throughout


Chic: There is also a 23 sewn into the carpet in the footwell
