David Beckham has continued his obsession with black cars by buying a customised Range Rover Sport. The England and LA Galaxy star was spotted driving the supercharged Sport model which has been modified by Platinum Motorsport.
LA-based modifier Platinum Motorsport deals with a host of west coast celebrities and sportsmen - and David Beckham doesn't get much more high profile.
The exterior - including the 24-inch wheels - is completely black and as the world's most photographed man, the windows are also tinted.
While there are no interior shots of the car, it's likely Beckham would have had his shirt number (23) stitched into the leather upholstery inside the car - this is a common trait.
Platinum Motorsport has published a photo of Beckham signing the showroom's wall with 'Sick as Always, God Bless, David Beckham 23' - in very smart handwriting.
The Range Rover Sport is Beckham's latest all-black motor following recent purchases of a Cadillac Escalade, Jeep Wrangler, Lincoln Navigator, Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe.
And despite whippersnappers such as Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo driving their fair share of flash cars, David Beckham is still the king when it comes to footballers' car collections.
His motors have included a Ferrari 575, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, two Bentley Arnages, a Porsche 911 Turbo, armour-plated BMW X5, a BMW M3, numerous other Range Rovers and a 1991 Ford Escort which was his first car.
