WAGs cars

The noughties will long be remembered for the meteoric rise of the ‘WAG’ – aka wives and girlfriends – the shopaholic blonde other-halves of millionaire footballers.

For the glamour girls, reality stars and national sweethearts who make it into this lucrative tribe, it’s more competitive than any football match.

These girls are often as well known for their impressive collection of expensive motors as they are for their husbands. Check out who’s been spotted driving what – and been caught by parking wardens – in the gallery below.

If you don’t have a WAGs budget, there are more than 100 footballer-style used Range Rover Overfinches, 1,000 used Range Rover Sports, 260 used Audi A8s and more than 700 used Bentleys for sale on Auto Trader.

Our gong for all-time finest WAGs’ car goes to Stephen Ireland’s girlfriend Jess Lawlor. In October the Man City star presented his other-half with a unique Bentley Continental GTC as a birthday present.

Except this wasn’t any old Bentley – the once classy convertible had been transformed into one of the most outrageous cars ever.

So imagine his reaction when he found that the pint-sized blonde had scuffed two alloys and picked up a parking ticket after parking the convertible across two spaces – all in the first weekend of ownership.

The £260,000 supercar is capable of 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 200mph. There are more than 450 used Bentley Continentals for sale on Auto Trader.
