This YouTuber has fully rebuilt Marcus Rashford’s wrecked Rolls-Royce.
Mat Armstrong picked up the car back in April, when he bought it at an auction for $240,624.
The Mansory Black Badge Wraith had originally been written after it was involved in a collision.
With extensive damage to the left side, it was a lot of work for Mat to get back into shape.

The mission to get Marcus Rashford’s Wraith back on the road
Mat described the car as his ‘biggest challenge’, and it’s understandable why.
His team had to pick up another Rolls-Royce just to fix the original.
By the end of the arduous journey, the car had become something of a Frankenstein’s Monster, as different parts were welded onto it.
Well, Frankenstein’s Monster might be underplaying it a little bit, as the finished product is a beauty.
At least it wasn’t made out of trash, like this YouTuber’s project.
But was the sweat and tears worth it in the end?
Here’s how Mat summed it up – it was originally bought for $915,446 by Marcus.
To fix it, he had to buy a $117,700 Rolls-Royce car for spare parts and spend $65,389 at Mansory to do up the car’s interior.
That’s approximately $183,000 in building costs.
Nothing to sneeze at.
How much the car will sell for once Mat wants to sell it remains to be seen.
Fans react to the new and improved Wraith
Fans were delighted with Mat’s efforts and took to the comments to applaud him.
One wrote: “This is definitely your magnum opus.”
Another commented: “Utterly off the scale achievement.”
Some even joked that Marcus would be wanting it back now that it was as good as new.
The Wraith was wrecked back in September 2023, but the soccer player has since picked up a replacement.
This new one was picked up by a lorry in Bavaria, Germany and cost him a cool $800,000.
