In the video he suggests getting Marcus Rashford involved. I think he’ll want to stay well away from this in case it causes too many people to look into the incident / insurance carry on InformationSuperHighway said:
I have to admit this was one of my favorite Mat videos yet. The sheer scale, size and scope of the cars he goes after just seems to keep climbing.
He joked recently about a number plate that he was keeping for a Koenigsegg one day... For once I think something like that (Or other Hyper car) could really happen.
I really felt the pain of the car not starting as well.
Finally.. Mansory parts can get in the bin.. multiple thousands of pounds for tiny bits of carbon badging / parts.. ludicrous and tasteless.
Just remember - "There's no such thing as a cheap theatre seat."He joked recently about a number plate that he was keeping for a Koenigsegg one day... For once I think something like that (Or other Hyper car) could really happen.

I suspect the non starting was low fuel considering it had a large hole in the tank.He joked recently about a number plate that he was keeping for a Koenigsegg one day... For once I think something like that (Or other Hyper car) could really happen.

Cannot see a Koenigsegg or hypercar ever really happening, due to the value they are rarely written off plus they will do everything to protect image and brand.
Fully respect Freddie got lucky with the P1 but that was a unicorn and look at the trouble he has had in rebuilding it.

A donor car is going to be his only option I think.

It wasn’t fuel coz it wouldn’t even fully crank. I suspect he was right by saying the brake pressure wasn’t enough to fully trigger the switch to start itThat would be my guess anyway.

Oh absolutely.Going back to the vid - I'm glad to see MA openly remarking about the parts costs being "disgusting" - but if Mansory can extract that sort of cash from their clientele then fair play.
I can see why he's doing it monetarily, but if it were a keeper I'd be buying an older Wraith and transferring all the nice bits over to that rather than vice versa.
He was right - sometimes the price is more about what people want to pay and perceived value than a true reflection of cost.

How Mansory makes the value go up and not down is a modern day enigma.
And therefore has to be done else it's just worth whatever a standard one is worth (minus some as it's a mash up between std and Mansory)....As nearly all custom, not sure why it has extra used value as the value is for the original owner only, but as you say, as modern day enigma!

Within that group of folks, then find the people who have zero taste.. and you have a highly niche market for someone like Mansory.

Not sure what the second owner gets beyond some very tacky additions.
Pretty much unsellable for a normal person I'd have thought.
Was thinking that even at 700k that's what? 6 weeks of after tax earnings for Rashford, probably less with all his endorsements added in.
Akin to me buying a 12 year old Fiesta, no wonder he can afford just to bin it off when he inevitably does/did bin it.
Hard to comprehend.

When your bank account is 8/9 figures your perspective on money alters beyond our comprehension.
Im struggling to see how Mat Armstrong will make any profit or break even on this RR.
Someone earlier posted that Mat paid £184,000 for the crash damaged car. Then from the video it looks like he was going to buy a donor car for £94,000
I definitely would not want to buy a badly bodged, cut and shut. I wouldn’t even drive a cut and shut car I was given for free. So I can’t see those with £372,000 to spend on a Rolls Royce wanting such a bad example.
I really don’t care it was previously owned by Marcus Rashford. Him and the Mansory brand label are meaningless to me.
