I’m alright guys thanks for the messages.”Rashford owns three Rolls-Royces – his new £700k Black Badge Wraith, a £390k Black Badge Cullinan and he bought a £560k Cullinan Blue Shadow in August last year.Rashford also has a £280,000 McLaren 765 Long Tail and a £350,000 Lamborghini Urus Performante.How YouTuber bought Marcus Rashford’s £700k Rolls-Royce for £184k – even though it was completely destroyed
      A YOUTUBER bought Marcus Rashford’s old Rolls-Royce for a cut-price – but admitted “the damage was way worse than I first thought”.
      Made by Rolls Royce in collaboration with German luxury car manufacturer Mansory, Rashford originally paid an eye-watering £700,000 for the vehicle.
      But the car was written off last September when Rashford was involved in a collision.
      YouTuber Mat Armstrong, who boasts 2.55million subscribers, bought the vehicle for £185k, a snip of the original £700k Rashford paid for the vehicle.
      Despite the car clearly being severely damaged in the pictures on the online listing, it was claimed by the auction company that the car could start.
      But the YouTuber had no such luck, and had to work for much of the evening to fire it up even once.
      He jokingly added: “There’s no way they started it. The only person who would know if this thing starts is Rashford.”
      After a night toiling away, they eventually did manage to jump start the vehicle, using Mat’s father’s Citroen people-carrier.
      Upon closer inspection, Mat said: “The suspension’s a mess,” Before adding: “And the exhaust is perished.”
      He then compared the curvature on the car caused by the crash to that of a banana.
      One of the Mansory logos on the outside of the car alone would have cost over a grand to replace, which showed the scale of the task ahead.
      The YouTuber bought an older second hand Rolls Royce to use for parts, with the cheapest car costing around £90,000.
