However, perhaps the ultimate car fanatic from the footballing world is David Beckham. Beckham’s garage counts the likes of the Ferrari 575 and F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, two Bentley Arnages and a Rolls Royce Phantom among others. Beckham also has an armour-plated BMW X5 and once owned an Aston Martin DB7, with the registration plate ‘DB7′. Cars such as these are all a far cry from Beckham’s first entry into the motoring world – the humble Ford Escort.

Film and TV stars aren’t immune to owning top-of-the-range vehicles either. American actor Ben Affleck has owned an Aston Martin DB7 and Dodge RAM, while Brad Pitt can claim to have driven the Mercedes G55 AMG. More modest cars owned by film and TV stars include the David ‘The Hoff’ Hasselhoff’s BMW Mini and Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe’s Fiat Punto.However, no celebrity car is complete without a personalised registration plate. Other famous registration plates include magician Paul Daniels’ MAG 1C, singer Englebert Humperdinck’s EH 1 and business tycoon Sir Alan Sugar’s AMS 1 which is regularly seen in the opening sequence of the show ‘The Apprentice’.
