The Secret Reason Why Marcus Rashford's Crashed Rolls-Royce Wraith Would Just Not Start

When he picked up the car, Mat tried for hours and hours to start the engine of the Rolls-Royce Wraith. He eventually did it by pressing the brake pedal hard first. But that did not work the second time, so he had no idea what was wrong.

It turns out that Marcus Rashford watched the video on YouTube. His team contacted Mat Armstrong and offered to give him a helping hand. The engine of the Wraith starts with a secret code that protects the luxury car from thieves. Once Mat puts the secret code in, the car instantly starts.

But that was far from being the only problem of the Wraith he bought. He later found out that the Mansory parts are insanely expensive, so the first thing that comes to his mind is to un-Mansory the car.

He starts stripping down everything that is broken. He will also have to make measurements to check if everything is straight. Once the car is in the air, he discovers more damage. But the good news is that the subframe is in place despite the damage.

Every price for every damaged part is bad news. Again, Marcus Rashford's team is landing him a helping hand. "We still have a few bits from the car that you might need," they write to him.

So, he received Mansory floor mats, a Mansory radiator grille, and badge, plus a wheel hub, which saved him a lot of money. He also purchased the front bumper, which was listed for sale online. And he was hoping to get the Rolls-Royce umbrellas that are usually stored in the door panels, but it did not happen.

It turns out that the crash was not even Marcus Rashford's fault. Consequently, the insurance company of the 74-year-old lady that he collided with paid for his damaged Roll-Royce. She reportedly changed lanes and sent the Rolls-Royce spinning into a pole.

Mat can't understand why the Rolls-Royce was not registered as damaged even though the insurance paid out. The insurance company has no obligation to categorize the car. However, because the car is so rare, finding parts for it and fixing it takes a lot of time, during which the insurance company has to pay for a car hire for the owner.

So, the company prefers to write off the car and give a full payout to the owner, but they do not categorize it because, once it is listed for sale, it can sell for a higher price, so the insurance gets to cover part of the loss.

Subframe and engine mounts, plus many Mansory parts are going to be terribly expensive. So, Mat feels like he has reached a dead end. The only way out is to dismantle another Rolls-Royce, which is an older model, and use components from it for the one that belonged to Marcus Rashford. They will sell the ones they don't need, such as the engine, transmission, and interior. It sounds like a very bumpy ride.
