The former professional footballer is now a respected actor after hanging up his boots in the late 90s.

Jones, now 58, recently picked up a new D-Max AT35 from Isuzu dealer Crawfords in Billingshurst, West Sussex.

The former midfield enforcer who once captained Wales will use the chunky truck while filming a new show for the Discovery channel.

Jones is a well known petrol head with a lovely collection of motors with plenty of personality parked up outside his Hollywood home.

Six years ago Sun motoring correspondent Rob Gill met up with Vinnie, when the former Wimbledon pro showed off his motor collection, thought to be worth around £200,000.

He told Rob that he was particularly proud of his 1995 Land Rover Defender 110.

Vinnie said: “I paid seven and a half grand for it, f***ing old rust bucket it was. I just wanted to cut the roof out to shoot a few rabbits.

Actor and former footballer Vinnie Jones has found love again with co-star Emma Ford — five years after the death of his wife Tanya-

“But then I found this geezer, Stuart Brown, who does all this customising and I said to him, ‘What can you do?’ And he said, ‘Whatever you want’. And I thought, ‘Really?’

“So, I’m literally — this is how bad it was — watching these restoration programmes and I’m taking pictures of the TV and sending them to him.

“I’m driving him mad, saying, ‘I want this, this, this’. Every single nut and bolt came off. Eighty grand later, I get me motor back and it’s just magnificent. It’s the f***ing b*****ks, mate. The insurers have valued it at 150 grand. It’s my pride and joy.”

The former pro also has a retro Roller parked up on the drive.

He said: "Me and Jason Statham came over here and went, ‘Yeah, we’re in Hollywood, yeah, let’s get a f***ing Harley’.

“So I bought one, rode it around LA for a bit but thought, ‘No, f*** that’. Too scary, mate. So I part-exchanged it for the Roller, $27,000 plus five grand cash.

“It’s 1988 — the year we (Wimbledon) won the FA Cup, blue, from Crewe — near enough to Liverpool, innit. I just had to have it."

But Vinnie told Rob that his choice for the daily drive was his Range Rover Sport.

He said: “The thing is, there’s always the question: What can I go to a premiere in? What can I go to dinner in? What can I go to a funeral in? What can I go shooting in? Fishing? It ticks every box. It’s the car for all occasions. The daddy.

“It’s a statement vehicle without sticking it up your nose.”
