Clad in a brown leather jacket and jeans, the TV presenter pushed a trolley full of shopping towards the black convertible on Thursday afternoon.
The TV icon was an antique dealer before a chance meeting with a producer at a barbecue led the BBC making a two-part documentary about him preparing for an antiques show at the Olympia.
He became a favourite among viewers thanks to his appearances as an antiques expert on This Morning and The Antiques Show on BBC Two.
David then landed his own game show called Bargain Hunt which cemented his status as a TV star and he would go on to front for nine years until 2003.
"I couldn't understand it at first I was just doing what came naturally but everyone seemed to pick up on my catchphrases such as 'cheap as chips' and 'what a bobby dazzler'," David said of the show on his website.
"I was delighted when the show won a National Television Award in 2002 and I was there to accept it."
After leaving Bargain Hunt, David had a lucrative TV career which helped earn him his estimated £2million personal worth.
David also competed in reality TV series, Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here the following year.
"When I was asked to go into the jungle in 2005, everyone advised me against it but I thought 'I'll give it a go'," David said on his website about his stint in the Aussie jungle.
"Some people go to a health farm and pay a couple of thousand pounds, but in there I lost more than a stone and had a detox, just a shame the weather was so rainy I was hoping to top up the tan."
Iconic daytime TV show returns to screens after host was forced to deny he'd quit
The antiques expert has long been a car-lover and has previously owned four Chevrolet Corvettes and several Rolls-Royces.
He explained his love for Bentleys after getting his first one in 2003.
"Bentley is a deluxe vehicle; a wonderful, classic marque. But it's not OTT," he told The Times in the same year.
"The attention to detail is fantastic."

Police 'examining' Kneecap and Bob Vylan Glastonbury performances
Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: 'Free, free Palestine' and: 'Death, death to the IDF'. It has been reported that police are looking into Kneecap's performance after a member of the Irish rap trio suggested fans 'start a riot' outside his bandmate's upcoming court appearance. In a post on social media, Avon and Somerset Police said: 'We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. READ MORE: Scottish refugee charity 'won't shut up, it will show up', says founder 'Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a government spokesperson said. They added: 'We strongly condemn the threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury. 'The Culture Secretary has spoken to the BBC Director General to seek an urgent explanation about what due diligence it carried out ahead of the Bob Vylan performance, and welcomes the decision not to re-broadcast it on BBC iPlayer.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' During Kneecap's set, which was not aired by the BBC, band member Naoise O Caireallain, stage name Moglai Bap, lead chants of 'fuck Keir Starmer'. He told the crowd: 'The prime minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so fuck Keir Starmer.' Moglai Bap's comments come after several politicians, including the Prime Minister, called for Kneecap to be removed from the line-up. The band also led crowds in chants of 'Free Palestine', with Liam Og O hAnnaidh, stage name Mo Chara, commenting on the sheer number of flags at the festival after the field where they played had to be closed following overcrowding concerns. O hAnnaidh wore a keffiyeh during the hour-long set, while member JJ O Dochartaigh, stage name DJ Provai, wore his signature tri-coloured balaclava along with a T-shirt that said: 'We are all Palestine Action', in reference to the soon-to-be banned campaign group. The Belfast group made the headlines after O hAnnaidh, 27, was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. Last week, the rapper, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20.

Why is there no Glastonbury in 2026? There's a good reason
Glastonbury 2025 is almost over with hundreds of thousands of people flocking to Worthy Farm for a weekend of live music – but it won't be back in 2026. The Friday had barely got underway before Royals hitmaker Lorde stunned a rammed tent with a secret set, with headliners The 1975 kicking things off that evening. Normally, fans will already be casting an eye to next year and pondering dream lineups, but there will be no Glastonbury in June 2026. Last summer, Emily Eavis opened up on why we shouldn't be on the lookout for any announcements. The organiser revealed she is ready for Glastonbury to take an elective break for the first time in a while. Every once in a while, Glastonbury takes some time off – these are known as 'fallow years' – to allow the grass and farmland at Worthy Farm to get a break from the 200,000 people who visit the festival each year. She previously told the BBC: 'We are due a fallow year [at Glastonbury]. The fallow year is important because it gives the land a rest, and it gives the cows a chance to stay out for longer and reclaim their land. 'I think it's important, I think it gives everybody time to just switch off and the public as well. Then you kind of go away for a bit and it feels lovely when you come back. And I think it's quite good not to be seen to be cashing in.' Next year won't be the first time Glastonbury has taken some time off, with the festival cancelled in 2020 and 2021 as a result of government lockdowns during the Covid pandemic. The first time the festival took a break was in 1988 when the decision was taken to allow the grass on the festival's home of Worthy Farm to grow again. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A second pause in proceedings came in 1991 when crowd trouble at Glastonbury in 1990 left organisers needing to update their safety and security measures. The first fallow year to fall within a long-term planned schedule was in 1996, with then-organiser Michael Eavis (Emily's dad) saying the festival would take a year off every five or six years. The next break came in 2001, then another arrived in 2006. The plan was to take a break in 2011 but festival organisers thought it best to break in 2012 instead during the year of the London Olympics. The last time Glastonbury took a planned break was in 2018, with the next two – 2020 and 2021 – forced on the organisers during the height of the pandemic. A statement in 2018 said: 'We will be taking our next fallow year in 2018, in order to give the farm, the village, and the festival team the traditional year off. There are no plans to hold an event at another location in 2018.' More Trending There were rumours in 2017 that Glastonbury might well be moved to a new location in the near future, with plans for a new name even teased by Emily Eavis, but those plans were put on hold in 2019. Last year, the festival was headlined by Dua Lipa, Coldplay (who have topped the bill a record five times) and SZA, with Shania Twain in the Sunday Legends slot.
