TO A GOOD HOME: Ronaldo's old set of wheels, minus the parking tickets, is up for grabs
The footie ace paid more than £170,000 for the 200mph Bentley, but now it’s on the market for just £65,000.
Ronaldo was regularly photographed in the 2008 Continental GT Speed going to and from Manchester United’s training ground.
He also picked up a number of parking tickets in the high-powered motor, which stayed behind when he left Manchester in 2009.
POSH: Unlike Ronaldo's old Ferrari, the Bentley hasn't got a scratch on it
LUXURY: The motor has a full Bentley service history
Yet, unlike his old Ferrari 599 GTB, which he crashed near Manchester Airport, the Bentley is in perfect shape.
The star playmaker sold the dark-blue Bentley when he transferred to Real Madrid in an £80m transfer.
Now Croydon dealership A&R Carriages owns the motor and is looking to offload it.
Anthony D'silva, managing director of A&R, picked it up intending to use it in this summer's Modball Rally, a 2,500 mile drive across Europe.
Under the bonnet is a 6-litre W12 engine which develops more than 600bhp – giving it a 0-62mph time of 4.3 seconds and top speed of 202mph.
The luxury coupe has been driven just 36,500 miles in eight years and has a full Bentley service history.
However, it is a thirsty car, managing just 17mpg.
Mr D’silva said he bought the car knowing Ronaldo was the world’s best footballer
He said: "I’m a big football and Ronaldo fan so when I found out it was his I had to buy it.
"The car is in great condition, it is a really clean example which has a full Bentley service history.
"The great talking point is that it was first owned by Cristiano Ronaldo, who is arguably the world's best footballer.
"It is a great investment opportunity for a collector, sports fan or just someone who is simply after a well cared for Bentley GT Speed."
