David Beckham sells his all-black Rolls-Royce Phantom on eBay for 250k

Bid it like Beckham: David sells his all-black Rolls-Royce Phantom on eBay for 250, 000

Two of England's most successful ever exports parted ways today after almost four years together.

David Beckham has decided to sell his limited edition black Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe on internet bidding site eBay.

The most capped English footballer of all time bought the stylish car in 2008 for 350,000 and spent thousands more having it customised.

He personally oversaw every additional design to the car and asked for it to be blacked out with tinted windows, a black Spirit of Ecstasy, and huge black 24-inch alloys were also added.

The car became one of Hollywood's most recognisable vehicles and has been up for sale on eBay since Friday for 250, 000.

The unique automobile was the jewel in Beckham's extensive all-black air-conditioned garage, which also included a specially built Range Rover, Porsche 911 and a Jeep Wrangler.

The LA Galaxy star has amassed 6,000 miles in the flashy car and has sent it to a specialist dealership to be sold.

Towbin Cars, in Las Vegas, is advertising the car for $390, 000 and offer a full service history for the 6.75-litre V12 engine which develops 450bhp and enables among the smoothest acceleration of all cars.

It can do 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds and it has an overall top speed of 150mph.

It is described as 'meticulously maintained' and owned by a 'non smoker'.

The flashy car is not very fuel efficient and guzzles petrol with the three tonne beast averaging just 11 miles per gallon.

With four-children and a commute to work, it probably isn't the best car for the school-run.

Becks hasn't lost faith in the Rolls-Royce family, however, and he is reportedly on a waiting list for his next new – a Rolls-Royce Ghost.

Ahmed Al-Bakry, who represents the car in Europe and the Middle East with Refined Marques, said: 'The car is unique in terms of its options and design, it is not everyday you see a convertible Rolls-Royce with 24-inch wheels.

'David Beckham is a one of a kind footballer who owned this one of a kind car.

'It is a brilliant opportunity to buy such a fantastic vehicle.'

The best customer: David is reportedly replacing the car with another Rolls Royce
