Unique opportunity – Former owner David Beckham’s 5

Unique opportunity – Former owner David Beckham’s 5.4 Litre V8 300bhp Lincoln Navigator – Purchased by Beckham in 2000 as featured in ‘The Sun’ newspaper, as one of the first Lincoln Navigators' to be imported into the UK. Finished in a deep gloss black coat, with privacy glass, 20” chrome wheels, is something of a head turner. A top of the range vehicle from Ford at the time, the Lincoln was considered the showpiece model and one that was worthy of celebrity status. This particular model is loaded with luxury extras from a numeric code entry to front doors, to a roof mounted DVD player, heated seats, power pedals and much more….! The current second owner acquired the vehicle in 2003 direct from the American import garage which had the Beckhams as long standing clients. The original V5 signed by Victoria Beckham, a copy of which is included. The unique UK private number plate being that of Beckham's initials, is instantly recognisable and included. A fully loaded motor vehicle with a history to match, the current owner has undertaken a complete mechanical restoration with no expense spared. Under the bonnet is a powerful and responsive 5.4L 32 valve DOHC Intex V-8 engine with 300 hp the engine is rated by Lincoln to go 100,000 miles without a ‘tune-up’ necessary, the V-8 controlled with a smooth electronic transmission. Please see images for further specifications and technicalities, below are some features: Front engine, rear wheel drive, available 4-wheel drive - No key required for entry user programmable keypad on the driver-side door - Walnut and leather accented front console - The four-wheel-drive navigator uses control track to select one of three different modes - Security lock passive antitheft system uses an encoded key - Elegant Wood and leather trim steering wheel - Anti-lock brakes - Colour coded body side cladding and wheel lip mouldings - Standard side impact head chest airbags - Adjustable brake and accelerator pedals - Integrated illuminated running boards lowering for easier entry and exit, night use is facilitated by a centre dual light - Second row bucket seats can be quickly folded down flat - Tip or fold flat third row bench seat can be collapsed flat. The vehicle comes with a mere 45,000miles on the clock and comes with a 12 month UK MOT. Following a period when the vehicle was taken off road the vehicle has been completely mechanically restored with new suspension, braking system and a number of chassis related body panels, many of which were hand made as these panels have ceased to be available from Ford USA for some years. A substantial number of photographs showing the underside rebuild and related receipts (in excess of £25,000) will be included in the sale. No expense was spared in order to ensure that the restoration was of a very high standard. In addition to history file of monies spent etc the original sales brochure from Lincoln is included together with the original sales photos from the importers. The chrome wheels were replaced some years previously but every effort was made to source appropriate American replacements. Tyres are as new and thus with relatively low mileage for its age mechanically this vehicle has many years of service life left. Indeed Lincoln advertises that these engines are good for 100,000 miles WITHOUT a major service. Kind permission given by The Manor, Elstree, Hertfordshire for use of the location. Viewing strictly by appointment only and independent mechanical inspection welcome.
