In Europe, people play this strange game where the ball is kicked around the field for 90 minutes. They call it footballbut here it’s called soccer and the people who play it get paid a lot of money. It’s really a lot. So much so that a football player has enough money to buy one Custom Rolls Royce worth $880,000 that he had an accident and left after only traveling 1,000 miles.
Manchester United player Marcus Rashford is the proud owner of a Rolls Royce Wraith 2023 Black Badge, heavily modified by Mansory. After taking delivery of the car last year, Rashford crashed and rammed the Wraith in September, leaving it severely damaged after hitting a power pole and another car.

Since then, Armstrong has published a number of updates to show where he is in terms of rebuilding Rashford’s squad. Mansory Wraithincluding the (not so) surprising revelation that it required more work than he expected.
In his latest video, linked above, Armstrong explained some of the obstacles he’s encountered so far, including figuring out how much work needs to be done on the car, and revealed ( again, shocking) that Rolls Royce parts are beautiful. expensive. We’re talking nearly $10,000 for the Wraith’s rear fender and more than $1,500 for Replacement Mansory badge.
Because of this, Armstrong’s latest plan to revive the car is to dismantle an older Wraith for parts. This way, he can save on buying too many expensive parts like rear fenders directly from the luxury car manufacturer.
