In Europe, they play this strange game where a ball is kicked around a field for 90 minutes. They call it football, but over here it’s known as soccer and the people that play it get paid a lot. An awful lot, actually. So much so that one soccer player had enough to buy an $880,000 custom Rolls Royce that he crashed and wrote off after covering just 1,000 miles.

Manchester United player Marcus Rashford was the proud owner of a 2023 Rolls Royce Wraith Black Badge, which had been heavily modified by Mansory. After taking delivery of the car just last year, Rashford crashed and totaled the Wraith in September, with it suffering extensive damage after hitting a pole and another car.

The Wraith then ended up in a salvage yard and was put up for auction, with YouTuber and BMX rider Mat Armstrong buying it up. Now, Armstrong is documenting his ambitious plan to return the luxury Roller to the road.

Armstrong took delivery of the wrecked Wraith back in March after paying around $230,000 for the remains of Rashford’s car, he explained in his first video on the build. At that point, he identified everything wrong with the Wraith, which included suspension issues, troubles starting up, lack of drive and worst of all, the umbrella is even missing.
