David Beckham joked that he regrets giving his son Brooklyn, 23, and daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz, 27, a hugely expensive wedding gift. When billionaire heiress Nicola married David’s eldest boy Brooklyn in April, David splashed out on a gift that the two could enjoy.
The wedding was at Nicola’s family’s £76 million estate on Palm Beach in Florida and guests at the £3m bash were asked to donate to a Ukraine charity to help those affected by war. But instead David presented the pair with a 1954 Jaguar that had been converted to be electric and costs £400,000. David, who turned 47 on Monday, drove the baby blue XK140, which had been converted to electric by 120 people in restoration and electrification company Lunaz, to the ceremony, reports the Daily Record.
Founder & CEO of Lunaz David Lorenz, said: “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 remarkable car is the perfect gift to his son Brooklyn and daughter-in-law, Nicola on their wedding day. In every respect, this extraordinary electric classic car by Lunaz symbolizes a bright, positive future.” Read all our entertainment news here.
