It was a wedding some two years in the making, after the disruptive force of COVID-19 and its impact on the modern world prompted inevitable delays and disruptions.
But while Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham‘s extravagant marriage ceremony was an explosion of wealth, celebrity and media scrutiny, it also provided a sizeable platform for father-of-the-groom David to promote one of his post-football investments.
The former Manchester United and England midfielder gave car restoration company Lunaz – in which he holds a 10 percent stake – a valuable assist by gifting his eldest son with one of their classic vehicles on the day, notable by virtue of the brand name and logo plastered across its number plate.

The retired footballer was joined by fashion designer and former Spice Girl wife Victoria, 47, with both also seen occupying the same $500,000 (£383,502) classic car ahead of their attendance at the marriage ceremony.
Business savvy Beckham is an investor of UK based restoration company Lunaz, having taken a 10 percent stake in the company in June 2021.
Lavish: The vintage car – later handed to Brooklyn and Nicola as they ventured out for a lavish brunch – was the product of thousands of hours of work from the company’s 120 strong team of craftspeople
The vintage car – later gifted to Brooklyn and Nicola as they ventured out for a lavish brunch – was the product of thousands of hours of work from the company’s 120 strong team of craftspeople, designers and Electric Vehicle (EV) technicians and was built entirely in-house at the home of Lunaz in Silverstone, England.
The sustainable trend sees Lunaz tear out engines which pollute our atmosphere and replace them with zero exhaust emissions batteries and electric motors.
David Lorenz, Founder & CEO of Lunaz said: ‘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.
