Buy Wayne Rooney's Aston Martin Vanquish

An Aston Martin Vanquish previously owned by Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney is for sale on Auto Trader.

The star striker was the first owner of the 2006 Aston Martin Vanquish S, which is powered by a meaty 520bhp 5.9-litre V12 engine.

This means that the Aston is capable of sprinting from 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 200mph.

The top-of-the-range model is finished in Grigio Titanium with Obsidian Black hide and is fitted with 19-inch alloy wheels, grey-coloured calipers, 2+2 seating, sculpted leather heated seats, sat-nav, rear parking sensors, 700 watt sound system and all-round electrics.

Rooney was given the Aston Martin Vanquish S 2+2 by his then fiancée Coleen McLoughlin as a good luck gift before the 2006 World Cup.

Wayne Rooney’s Aston Martin Vanquish S cost the star striker more than £170,000. It’s now advertised for sale by Hallmark Motor Sales Ltd, for £88,975.

It has clocked up just 6,000 miles since new and comes with a full Aston Martin service history.

Wayne Rooney began his career with Everton, joining their youth team at age ten. He made his professional debut in 2002 and his first goal made him the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history at that time.

He spent two seasons at the Merseyside club, before transferring to Manchester United at the start of the 2004 season for £25.6million.

He has since won the Premier League three times, the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League and two League Cups.

Rooney made his England debut in 2003 and has now appeared more than 50 times for his country, clocking up a total of 25 goals.

The 24-year-old has celebrated 34 goals already this season and, despite serious injury fears, is set to play a major role in this summer’s World Cup in South Africa.

Despite holding driving licenses for just six years, Wayne and Coleen have had a spectacular car collection. And like most people, the England star had to start somewhere.

In 2003, a fresh-faced 17-year-old Rooney was presented with a Ford Sportka. With its 1.6-litre engine, the diminutive Ford could get Wayne from 0-62mph in 9.7 seconds. There are currently more than 3,800 used Ford Ka’s for sale on Auto Trader, with prices starting at just £295.

After the Ford there’s been no stopping the United star as he quickly climbed the pecking order for footballers’ cars. A BMW M3, VW Golf R32, Cadillac Escalade, Chrysler 300C, BMW M6 and a BMW X5 have all graced Rooney’s front drive.

But when Rooney transferred to Manchester United, he needed to up his motoring game to keep up with the likes of Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cue supercars, off-roaders and modified motors.

He has since owned a 582bhp Mercedes CLK DTM AMG, a black Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, an Audi RS6 Avant, an Audi RS4 Quattro, a Bentley Continental (and a convertible GTC version for Coleen), a Mercedes G55 AMG, a hardcore Mini GP, a supercharged Range Rover and an Overfinch-tuned Range Rover Sport.
