When a rear wing is £8k plus vat not really, although the rear wing on the donor probably doesn’t fit if it’s not the same shape for lights, lines etc, but I guess he will recoup the donor car cost back.
Mansory prices are eye watering though.
The doner car is the same shape,Mansory prices are eye watering though.
just the smashed one is a facelift so main components needed should all fit ok.
Still a lot of money for a parts car, a few of the comments suggested getting the parts from abroad, Dubai etc as they are as common as a fiesta out there

A fair bit of info on the crash and why the roller isn't recorded.

copart used to do a service called breakerbid4u where you can bid for a Cat B car, they will pull the engine out for you and you go along and remove any other parts you want at their premises.
That way the cat B chassis and id gets destroyed and you get all the parts.
Saving Salvage got his S3 engine that way not long ago
I see they not do this any more....
However Matt could have got a cat b roller by having someone with a breakers license to bid for him and they keep and destroy as appropriate. Surely he wouldn't have been short of volunteer breakers to work with on that (reclamet? trents? etc).

I'm not seeing a container of parts with a rear clip being anywhere near £100k.

Yes I suspect he could have got everything cheaper but having a complete car I think will be easier plus as he said £30k for the engine plus the interior etc if he can sell it.

Kind of key. Plus all the little bits might turn out to be a little different. He's got about £50k in used parts (parts that will sell "relatively" quick) in a £100k used car. The rest might sell, eventually, but I suspect after engine, interior, doors, front panels, wheels, bumpers, whats left will be weighed in.From the video, it seemed that Rolls Royce were willing to sell him the parts, but he didn't price up what that might be, just a rear wing.
The reality is he needs a fast turn around on a project, because, essentially, its a TV show. In 6 months time, no one will care about Rashford's Roller.

Plot twist: Rashford loves that 1 of 1 car and buys the completed car back off Armstrong for £500k.
I must admit this thought did occur to me too. He doesn’t care if the car has been crash repaired. He’s only going to crash it again anyway.Also the explanation of the accident sounded dodgy to me.

Not just me then. How hard must a 74 year old woman hit a 2.5 ton car to spin it all that distance and how fast must Rashford been going to spin all that distance. Surely if you side swipe a vehicle, it would still come to a stop in straight line as there's no damage to the rear wing like a PIT manoeuvre.robemcdonald said:

I don't understand how if an insurance company has paid out on the car it hasn't been added to MIAFTR. When I worked in a total loss department it was hammered home to us the importance of adding vehicles to the register once we'd deemed it a write off. Also the explanation of the accident sounded dodgy to me.

Explained in the latest video. Apparently it's only a guideline rather than a legal requirement, and on higher value vehicles the Cat marker can have a significant effect on the car's resale value, and thus how much money the insurance company can recover.thegreenhell said:

I understand that - but MIAFTR is there to ensure people know the history of their vehicles and shouldn't be a reflection of insurance company profits. At the end of the day this would likely be a Cat S and that should be reflected in its documentation. I appreciate Mat is doing this publicly but it must be happening loads behind closed doors too.
