A man in the UK bought Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce to rebuild it.
The car had been severaly damaged in a crash, but this guy was able to fix it by himself, effectively getting a Mansory Rolls-Royce for about half the price.
But now there’s a problem.
Mansory heard about this and asked him for the car back.

The story behind Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce
YouTuber Mat Armstrong bought Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce a while back, and then spent a good chunk of money to fix it.
Even though it wasn’t cheap, it still cost him a lot less than buying a new one, which means he was able to get a Mansory Rolls-Royce at around half the price.
Rashford had originally bought the car for around $800,000.
Meanwhile, Armstrong spent around $240,000+ to buy it, and then an additional 183,000+ to fix it.
That works out at around $420,000, which is less than half what it originally cost Rashford to buy it.
The reason why Mansory wanted it back
Armstrong recently drove his Mansory Rolls-Royce across Europe and when Mansory heard about it, they called him and ask him to drive to the Mansory factory in Germany.
Mansory wanted it back, but not for the reason you’d think.
The tuning firm essentially wanted him to drive the car over there so they could fix it because, according to Kourosh Mansory, founder of Mansory, Armstrong didn’t do a good job with the car.
It’s obviously totally reasonable too, as Mansory has a brand image to protect, and this story has gained a bit of traction – if you’ll excuse the pun.
Mansory actually used a different expression.
He described the job Armstrong has done with a more colorful word which begins with ‘s’, ends in ‘t’, and isn’t ‘suit’.
You get the idea.
“If there’s one thing we learned straight away, it’s that Mr Mansory is really passionate about his brand,” the YouTuber noted.
He doesn’t shy away from that fact, either.
Mansory told Armstrong: “Everything is wrong…
“Everything [is] s***.
However, he then admitted that the time it took him to do it made it an ‘amazing [job] for you’.
Mat admits in the video that he ‘should have spent more time’ on the small things, which is clearly what sets Mansory apart from the rest.
But the good news is after fixing a couple of things and giving the Rolls-Royce new wheels, Armstrong was finally able to hit the road again – with a renewed appreciation for the craft and skill that Mansory brings to every build.
