YouTuber who rebuilt Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce spent many hours trying to start engine before learning there’s a secret way to do it

YouTuber Mat Armstrong bought Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce and spent a good chunk of cash to fix it.

The car looks great now, but getting it back on the road wasn’t easy.

Apart from the cost, there was another issue as well.

Armstrong spent hours trying to work out how to start it, and not because the car was broken.

The secret way to start Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce

The car was damaged, but the engine was okay-ish, and it was supposed to start at the first attempt.

Except it didn’t.

Armstrong tried every trick in the book, but the car simply wouldn’t start.

At one point, he was finally able to start it by pressing the brake pedal hard, but this only worked once.

Then, he figured out why.

Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce wouldn’t start because it needed a secret anti-theft code.

Rashford’s team got in touch with him and gave him said code, and Armstrong was finally able to start it.

The story behind this Rolls-Royce

YouTuber Mat Armstrong purchased Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce for $240,000+ and then spent around $183,000 to fix it.

Rashford had originally bought the car for around $800,000, so this means that Armstrong essentially got the at around half the price.

Not a bad deal.

Interestingly, Mansory, the tuning firm that customized Rashford’s Rolls-Royce, also got in touch with him and asked him to drive the car to the Mansory factory in Germany.

This is because, according to Kourosh Mansory, founder of Mansory, Armstrong didn’t do a good job with the car, and it still needed some work.

After fixing a couple of things and giving the Rolls-Royce new wheels, Armstrong was finally able to hit the road again.
