The car original cost £700,000 and he bought it wrecked for £184,000 and has now bought another standard Wraith one for about £94,000 to use its parts in the rebuild of special car.
The special car had belonged to Marcus Rashford the footballer
There has been two episodes so far.
The engineering that is in the car WOW.
He took off the n/s boot panel and the amount of electronics hidden in that area massive, something to do with the sound system.
The engine mounting are rather special as oil filled things.
This Matt was absolutely delighted to find that the engine was sound but it took them some hours to get it started as there is a sequence to be gone through before starting engine but on top of that there is a security system to get past all very high tech.
Looking forward to them repairing the car but the cost could well turn out to be astronomical for the specialist parts required.
A piece of body trim which on a normal model would cost say £250 well it becomes £2,500 because of the name. However you are not talking like for like.
He high lighted some things that insurance companies do the get the highest prices for the wrecked cars. A bit naughty at least.
He is a very good presenter and very hands on.
