Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United star, is putting up his damaged Rolls-Royce for auction at a significantly reduced price. The £700,000 V12 Rolls Royce Wraith was involved in a collision last year, leaving it in a wrecked state. The car, which has just 1,135 miles on the clock, is being auctioned on a salvage site with the highest bid currently at £152,500.
The collision occurred when Rashford, who had just left United’s Carrington base, crashed into a pole on a traffic island after colliding with a 74-year-old woman’s car. The impact caused extensive damage to the front, left front wing, and the rear left wheel and bumper of the vehicle. Despite the damage, the engine and interior seem mostly undamaged, with the car boasting a full ‘Mansory’ kit, adding to its value.
With experts estimating that the car will require at least £100,000 worth of repairs to make it roadworthy again, potential buyers with deep pockets see it as a smart investment. The auction has already seen 111 bids, indicating strong interest in the damaged supercar.
Rashford’s Rolls-Royce, which has a top speed of 155mph, was wrecked following the collision with the gran’s car. The collision occurred after his team’s 1-0 Premier League win at Burnley. Despite the severity of the crash, Rashford emerged shaken but unhurt.
The auction of the damaged Rolls-Royce has garnered attention from potential buyers, with the damaged yet valuable vehicle attracting significant interest in the salvage market.
