David Beckham has given his son this electric Lunaz restomod

It’s your typical roster of wedding presents: a gravy boat, salt and pepper shakers, a £350k electric restomod. Just useful, everyday stuff for the house.

Okay, so Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz probably didn’t add a massively expensive Jag to the gift list ahead of their much-publicised wedding last weekend, but as luck would have it the father of the groom has a) very deep pockets, and b) shares in a car company.

Yup, David Beckham - who took a 10 per cent stake in British electric restomod firm Lunaz in June 2021 - has pulled some strings and commissioned this fully electric, restored and upcycled Jaguar XK140.

A team of 120 people spent ‘thousands of hours of work’ completing the entire project at the company’s base in Silverstone. Looks immaculate, doesn’t it?

As well as installing an electric powertrain, the brakes, suspension and steering have all been uprated, while the light cream interior features dials and switches that ‘faithfully reflect’ those of the original while incorporating modern instruments like the battery gauge.

And if you flick through the gallery above, you’ll also see there’s a special plaque bearing the initials of the newlyweds.

“In creating this beautiful, electrified Jaguar XK140, we are honoured to bridge the gap between David Beckham’s professional life, where he is an investor in Lunaz and his family life,” said founder and CEO David Lorenz. “This remarkable car is the perfect gift to his son Brooklyn and daughter-in-law, Nicola on their wedding day. In every respect, this extraordinary electric classic car by Lunaz symbolises a bright, positive future.”

Sadly there are no performance figures for us to pore over; even the official colour - named by the customer for each of Lunaz’s cars - has been kept confidential. However that £350,000 is just a starting figure. And nope, it doesn’t include taxes either. So in the UK you’re looking at £420k as a minimum.

No wonder business is booming for Lunaz. The company says its workforce has risen by 200 per cent within the last 12 months, and it has a delivery waiting list that stretches out until January 2024.
