Are celebrities feeling the credit crunch pinch by selling their valuable, fuel-guzzling sports cars?

Hollywood megastar Bruce Willis recently sold three cars from his American muscle car collection through auctioneers Bonhams in Los Angeles. Lots included this gorgeous white 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible given to him by Demi Moore, which sold for $115,166. His 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 Convertible sold for $232,722 and he got $125,270 for his 1969 Dodge Charger Coupe.

 


Meanwhile, football megastars trade in their unwanted motors. Cristiano Ronaldo recently sold his silver 2007 Bentley Continental GTC for $230,830, but you can still get your hands on David Beckham’s silver automatic 2002 Bentley Arnage T with cream leather interior.

 

Bought for $391,850 with $161,350-worth of customisation including monogrammed ‘Brooklyn’ baby seat and ‘Victoria’ embroidered on the arm-rest, this immaculate car with only 40,000 km on the clock will set you back just $228,270, through www.autotrader.co.uk.
