Is Rod Stewart's new £200,000 Ferrari too small for his 6ft wife Penny Lancaster?

As a dedicated sports car lover, Rod Stewart probably gave no thought to turning up to his son's football match in a shiny – but tiny – new motor.

But it seems his new £200,000 Ferrari left room for improvement for his 6ft wife Penny Lancaster, 50, who drove their son Aiden, ten, to the game in a separate car.

Sir Rod, who celebrated his 77th birthday last week, turned heads as he popped to the match in Essex in his two-seater white F8 Tributo.

With only one spare seat in her husband's car, Miss Lancaster got behind the wheel of a white Mercedes AMG G63 worth £160,000 – with a little more room for her model frame.

Sir Rod, who gives away three inches to his 6ft 1in wife, wrapped up from the cold in a black puffer jacket over a white Celtic jumper.

Aiden was in his team's football kit – matching the Celtic colours.

Miss Lancaster wore a black puffer jacket over a black turtleneck jumper with grey jeans and black boots.

After Aiden's match the family stopped off to enjoy a bite to eat together.

Following their lunch Sir Rod gave his son a warm hug before he and Miss Lancaster left in their luxury cars.

The singer has always had a passion for sports cars and had owned several Lamborghinis, including a rare black and white Aventador SVJ worth £290,000.

His vast collection also included a 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera, a Rolls-Royce and a Ferrari Enzo which he bought in 2003 and sold in 2013.

Sir Rod received just under £1million for the supercar but regrets his decision, as it is now worth more than £2million.

He married Miss Lancaster in 2007 and the couple are parents to Alastair, 16, and Aiden.
