A YouTuber bought a wrecked Rolls-Royce that used to belong to Manchester United player Marcus Rashford.
Even though the whole deal was definitely a bargain, the YouTuber knew he’d still have to fork out a significant sum of money to make it look showroom ready.
As it turns out, he was sort of wrong.
The restoration ended up costing him a lot less than he anticipated.

How Marcus Rashford wrecked his Rolls-Royce
Marcus Rashford has played for Manchester United pretty much all his life.
He joined the club when he was only seven, and made his senior debut with Manchester United at the age of 18.
He’s just a few weeks away from being 27 now, and so that means that he’s spent the last nine years earning millions of dollars every year.
As a result, money is really no object when it comes to his cars, which is why, back in the spring of 2024, Rashford spent nearly seven figures on a Rolls-Royce Wraith customized for him by Mansory.
Unfortunately for him, his experience with the Roller was short-lived because he nearly totaled it after just a few weeks.
The bargain of the year
YouTuber Mat Armstrong struck gold with this Rolls-Royce.
Armstrong spent around $240,000+ to buy it, and then an additional 183,000+ to fix it.
That works out at around $420,000, which is less than half what it originally cost Rashford to buy it.
Rashford’s accident was all over the news, so people know this car was involved in an accident at some point, and that definitely tarnishes its value.
However, the YouTuber effectively got himself a showroom-ready car that cost between $900,000 and $1 million for ‘only’ $400,000+.
We’d still call that a bargain.
