Rooney’s luxury Mercedes

Aug 18 2008 by Laura Sharpe, Liverpool Daily Post

WAYNE ROONEY has signed a £1m contract as ambassador of luxury car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz.

The 22-year-old footballer, from Croxteth, sealed a two-year deal with the German car-maker last week, and has already taken delivery of a brand-new customised black leather Mercedes Benz CL63 Coupé worth £121,200.

The deal means the Manchester United star’s new wife, Coleen, will be left to drive the rest of his fleet of lux- ury cars – as the cont- ract stipulates Rooney must drive only Merc- edes to matches and most training sessions.
