Close-Up: David Beckham’s Vintage Jaguar Gift to Son Brooklyn for Wedding – The Special Car Completed by 120 People

David Beckham has gifted his son, Brooklyn, a $500,000 (£383,502) car following the latter’s wedding to Nicola Peltz on Saturday, April 9.

While it may appear extravagant, David’s half-a-million-dollar gift after his son’s £3 million Florida nuptials is likely the Beckham equivalent of the £50 M&S voucher most people receive from their parents after tying the knot.

Beckham gave a valuable assist to Lunaz, a car restoration company in which he holds a 10 percent stake, by utilizing one of their classic vehicles for Brooklyn’s Miami wedding. The distinctive Lunaz logo was visible on the rear of the car during Beckham’s outing.

The electrified and re-engineered 1954 Jaguar XK140, valued at $500,000 (£383,502), was later driven by Brooklyn and his bride, American actress Nicola Peltz. Beckham became an investor in Lunaz in June 2021, holding a 10 percent stake in the UK-based restoration company.

The vintage Jaguar underwent a complete in-house rebuild at Lunaz’s Silverstone garage in England. Brooklyn and Nicola wasted no time taking their new set of wheels for a spin, cruising around the £71 million Palm Beach estate owned by Nicola’s parents.

David Beckham enlisted the help of Lunaz, the restoration company, for the upscale car’s revamp. The project involved thousands of hours of work, with a team of 120 individuals contributing to the meticulous craftsmanship. Beckham requested a light shade of blue for the finishing product, and according to MailOnline, he insisted on keeping the unique color’s name confidential.

David Lorenz, Founder & CEO of Lunaz, expressed, “In creating this beautiful, electrified Jaguar XK140, we are honored to bridge the gap between David Beckham’s professional life, where he is an investor in Lunaz, and his family life. This extraordinary electric classic car by Lunaz symbolizes a bright, positive future for Brooklyn and his daughter-in-law on their wedding day.”

Reports suggest that David became emotional during his speech at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding, potentially shedding a tear. The football superstar reminisced about Brooklyn’s birth and expressed his protective instincts. An insider revealed that David’s speech, lasting about five minutes, struck an emotional chord, with a lump in his throat as he recalled precious moments.
