THE world of Premier League car collections is full of loud Lamborghinis, fast Ferraris and heavy-duty, blacked-out Mercedes G-Wagons.
But Robert Sanchez is stealing the show with his unique set of motors.
Robert Sanchez provides safe hands in goal and at the wheel
His car collection is worth north of £1m
Erling Haaland, , Mo Salah and Bukayo Saka have got some of the best collections in the league, and deservedly so as four of the competition’s most elite players.
However, the keeper’s collection is one that has car enthusiasts drooling.
The Chelsea No1 gained attention online when a video of him stopping to sign autographs outside the Blues’ Cobham training ground went viral for the motor he was in.
The Spanish stopper was driving a classic BMW e30 325i, far from the textbook modern Tesla or Lambo that most players rock up to training in, entirely blacked out to avoid being spotted.
His grey 1988 BMW has a 2.5-litre engine, and presumably not much space for a 6ft 6ins giant like him to really fit inside, but is a classy, classic option and one that has been hailed by car enthusiasts.
With an average price of £88,000 according to The Classic Valuer, version looks a bit nicer than average, to say the least…
Other celebrity e30 drivers include music artists Tyler, The Creator and Frank Ocean, as well as Travis Scott, Chelsea fan Jack Harlow, and late Fast and Furious legend Paul Walker.
The classic Beemer, though, isn’t the only beauty in Sanchez’s collection.
He also boasts another JDM car enthusiast’s dream too, a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-Spec.
The car was popularised massively by the Fast and Furious franchise, being driven by Walker’s character Brian O’Connor, in a silver colourway with an iconic blue livery added to it.
Back in May this year, stopper Sanchez was praised by car collectors after a post by Harlow-Jap-Autos went viral about them selling the car to the Chelsea keeper.
They posted: “We at HJA just sold this crazy spec low Mileage 700hp R34 GT-R V-Spec to Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
“What did we love most? Seeing Robert get stuck in and work on the car himself — what a legend!
“Sanchez is a proper car and JDM enthusiast through and through.
“The GT-R is running an N1 block with an HKS 2.8L stroker kit, HKS GT3RS twin turbos, all the supporting mods, and the icing on the cake: an OS Giken sequential transmission.”

His lime green 2024 Porsche 911 GT3RS starts from £192,000
The post pictured Sanchez standing with his new Nissan, worth roughly £100,000 after a look on AutoTrader, but also showed off two other beauties in his collection.
One of which was a lime green 2024 Porsche 911 GT3RS, another cultured choice of motor, this time backed up with a huge spoiler hanging off the rear end – the model has a base price of £192,000.
Sanchez is known as a big Porsche fan, even turning up in the gorgeous number at a huge meet-up for the brand at The Fairmile in Cobham a few months ago.
He also has a more industry-standard Lamborghini Urus pictured in his collection, though even that is a Mansory-spec version, with a stunning body kit and increased performance, which he .
Mansory Lamborghini Uruses are valued at roughly between £300,000 to £500,000.
