💸 Expensive Parts and the Search for Solutions

The speaker continues to discuss the high costs associated with repairing the Rolls-Royce, particularly the Mansur parts. He details the process of removing the exhaust and other damaged parts, including the rear subframe. The team is relieved to find that the chassis has not been misaligned, despite significant damage to the subframe. The speaker also shares his attempts to order a new rear quarter from Rolls-Royce, only to find out that the part is extremely expensive.

📈 The Cost of Repairs and Legal Loopholes

The speaker discusses the costs of repairing the Rolls-Royce, including the eye-watering price of a rear quarter from Rolls-Royce. He also talks about the legal aspects of the car's damage, explaining that the insurance payout was due to the other party's fault in the accident. The speaker reveals that the car was not categorized as damaged, which is unusual given the insurance payout. He explains a legal loophole where insurers are not required to categorize a car as damaged, which can lead to higher resale values at auctions. The speaker also discusses the influence of manufacturers on the categorization of cars, hinting at a deeper issue within the industry.

00:00

Marcus rashford bought this Rolls-Royce

00:02

for £700,000 he later crashed it it then

00:07

went to a salv Oren and I bought it oh

00:10

my God for

00:12

£84,000 later found out that mansor

00:16

parts are extortionately expensive

00:18

£2,600

00:20

that's £2,000

00:24

£3,200 for that but the reason this car

00:27

is so expensive is because it's mansur

00:30

so I think I'm going to have no choice

00:32

but to replace them but what we didn't

00:33

know was what actually happened on the

00:35

night of the

00:37

accident but today we found out the

00:39

truth rashford has watched the video and

00:42

then his team have reached out to me and

00:44

they've G us some Vital Information when

00:47

I first picked up the car we were really

00:50

struggling to get it

00:52

started come on Rolls-Royce come on we

00:54

tried everything over and over again

01:00

someone stopping it but then I know what

01:04

it is we eventually got it started

01:08

yeah now we thought the reason why it

01:10

wouldn't start the first time was to do

01:12

with the brake pressure you have to push

01:13

the brake down before you press the

01:15

start button and with the brake line

01:17

ripped off at the back we wasn't getting

01:18

much brake pressure but we clamped the

01:20

brake line after getting it started the

01:22

first time and it still wouldn't

01:27

start but now we found that actual

01:30

reason and why it wouldn't start the car

01:33

has a ghost a ghost immobilizer is

01:35

installed by a third party company and

01:37

it's there to prevent theft even if

01:39

someone was to get in the car with the

01:42

key they wouldn't be able to start it

01:43

unless they had the special code to

01:46

enter in before pressing the start

01:48

button but now I've got the secret

01:51

code

01:52

so I'm going to put that in and then

01:54

we're going to see if it starts up after

01:56

I put in the secret code Matt don't look

01:59

okay you reckon

02:01

on it did the

02:08

hazards how did we start it last time

02:11

without the

02:13

ghost oh my those we were out there for

02:16

hours out there for hours trying that

02:19

well that's one problem solved anyway

02:22

now we I think uh we got a lot more to

02:25

get on with well that's one lot of

02:27

weight off my shoulder but let's not

02:28

forget this car is really badly damaged

02:31

and a worry there's even more damage

02:33

that we can't see yet I don't even know

02:35

where to start like this is going to be

02:37

a whole new experience I've never worked

02:39

on a rollsroyce before who has I think

02:42

we're going to learn a lot as well but

02:45

all of these damage Parts have got to

02:46

come off because well they're not

02:48

staying on first

02:50

Bol we're going to start stripping off

02:53

the bottom of the car including the

02:55

exhaust which my dad's on to now and

02:57

then we're going to remove everything

02:59

that's broken Bren and after we get all

03:01

of that off we should be able to measure

03:02

the chassis points to see if everything

03:04

is straight off comes the exhaust which

03:07

is a Manor exhaust £52,000 just for the

03:11

rear part and the front part is also

03:15

damaged I'm hoping we can get this

03:19

repaired and you know

03:21

what when he was a kid he was a man new

03:25

supporter I was as well is that true

03:28

yeah Glory suppor

03:31

maybe I should have been a mansori

03:32

supporter instead because offc come more

03:35

damag mansori parts and now I'm on to

03:38

removing the heat shielding which could

03:40

unveil even more damage underneath it

03:46

wa but luckily this time the boot floor

03:49

looks okay in places because on the edge

03:52

it is all pushed up and I don't think

03:54

this is going to be fixable along with a

03:56

rear subframe as well which is

03:58

completely ripped apart and you can see

04:00

here a drive shaft has been ripped out

04:02

the

04:04

differential as I mentioned the plan is

04:06

to get the rear subframe off so we can

04:08

inspect the back of the car so now my

04:10

dad's on doing the prop shaft which

04:12

transfers the drive from the engine to

04:14

the back wheels all the differential and

04:17

with the differential loosened we can

04:18

lower it

04:21

[Laughter]

04:24

down it is out and doesn't L any damage

04:28

underneath look at this look look at the

04:29

fuel tank it was I think they call it a

04:31

saddle because it looks like a horse

04:34

saddle it goes on a horse I think that's

04:36

what they call it any football puns for

04:39

horses horses or Saddles no really no I

04:43

don't think

04:44

so no Sadler is that a no Adam Sadler

04:48

that he's sad no the fuel tank is

04:52

another thing that's damaged we can see

04:54

a hole in it here we're going to have to

04:55

get back onto that later because now our

04:58

concentration is onto the re subframe

05:00

we've got to disconnect all the wire in

05:02

which is connected to the subframe from

05:04

the chassis of the car so we can lower

05:06

it down without breaking any of it along

05:08

with the wireing we also need to

05:09

disconnect the brake lines as

05:12

well and one thing I've never seen

05:14

before are these hydraulic lines which

05:16

go to the anti rollar I assume these are

05:18

there just to stiffen the suspension

05:20

because the car is so heavy but as these

05:22

are attached to the chassis we're going

05:23

to have to take them off there should

05:25

now be only four bolts holding this

05:28

subframe to the car this is what we're

05:30

most worried about are these four bolts

05:32

going to be still in line with each

05:34

other we're going to have to measure the

05:36

distance between each of them once we

05:37

get it down but that this one's worrying

05:40

because that looks very I mean look even

05:42

look at

05:48

this yeah should we get it down

05:51

then yeah it's not looking promising at

05:54

the minute look how bent that bolt is I

05:56

can only hope that the bolt took most of

05:58

the strain of the accident and it hasn't

06:00

pulled the chassis out of line now I've

06:02

got the Jack underneath the rear

06:03

subframe and we can start to lower it

06:06

down and disconnect it away from the

06:08

chassis of the

06:11

car oh right this is what they use in

06:16

the body

06:18

shops go in

06:20

it we going to go

06:23

across we need to measure the points

06:25

diagonally across where the subframe

06:27

bolts to the chassis and if we get the

06:29

same measurement each side we know the

06:31

chassis hasn't moved

06:34

89.6 and now we're going to go from the

06:36

right to the back

06:39

left come on come on and we didn't have

06:41

to move the tool at all which means it's

06:45

the exact measurement what does it say

06:48

I've Not adjusted it I think that's good

06:51

we don't have to do anything there which

06:54

is good news it's actually great news

06:57

none of these mounting points for the

06:58

subframe have m moved at all and to be

07:01

honest I thought they would have with

07:02

the amount of damage that's on the

07:04

actual subframe you can see here the

07:06

broken parts which have pulled off it

07:08

but we still have that structural damage

07:09

in the boot floor here to deal with and

07:12

the misshapen rear quarter so we're

07:14

going to be ringing rolls Ro later to

07:16

find a priz do you know the exhaust is

07:18

off yeah it would it I wouldn't be a

07:21

YouTuber without starting it with

07:23

without the exhaust yeah I think we need

07:25

I just want to hear what it sounds like

07:27

that's what you used to do when you were

07:28

17 with the fiesta not

07:31

let's see what a straight pipe rolls Roy

07:33

sounds like cuz this could be quite

07:35

funny just doing the

07:39

ghost I don't know how loud this is

07:41

going to

07:43

be oh it's not it's not that loud sounds

07:54

good now we all know what a straight

07:57

pipe rolls Roy sounds like I guess we

07:59

ticking things off the bucket list now

08:01

we're going to inspect the damage to the

08:03

boo how did it get that

08:05

damage it hit a lamp post it didn't spin

08:09

it did it hit the post and then it

08:10

straight into the back of the

08:13

net now you see when you try and close

08:16

the boot it doesn't line up at all and

08:18

we can see the boot hasn't moved on the

08:20

hinge so at the minute we're guessing

08:22

that the hinge is well of a Bend or it's

08:24

moved wherever it's boled to inside the

08:26

car so I'm going to start stripping the

08:28

carpet out to see if we can see anything

08:29

further what the hell is all of this

08:33

it's like a PlayStation 2 look oh no oh

08:38

it's damage reckon up still work now

08:40

I've got a better look at the hinge and

08:42

I can see it's bolted to the rear parcel

08:44

shelf and to get to those bolts I've got

08:46

to strip the interior out but I just

08:48

genuinely think that that hinge is bent

08:50

and then we've got all of this to sort

08:51

out there's a lot of damage underneath

08:53

all of this electronic stuff which I

08:55

think most of it is to do with the sound

08:57

system so we're going to take all of

08:59

that out taking mental notes of where it

09:01

all went back together and now I can see

09:03

the damage underneath if you've seen the

09:05

videos before you'll understand that the

09:07

car is built up of all different

09:09

sections so look you can see a section

09:10

there that's a cool little section like

09:13

even the back of the seats all in

09:15

sections as well and the way to fix all

09:18

of this is just to work out what section

09:19

is broken and replace that section the

09:21

only issue is this is structural damage

09:24

and we don't know whether uh Rolls-Royce

09:28

are going to sell us any of this and if

09:30

they

09:36

don't new rollsroyce Jing now what I'm

09:40

doing here is trying to call Rolls-Royce

09:42

to try and order a rear quarter because

09:45

sometimes manufacturers won't sell you

09:47

structural parts unless you're a

09:49

registered repairer like Aston Martin

09:51

and Porsche in the US and I've got a

09:53

funny feeling Rolls-Royce is going to be

09:55

the same we're looking for a rear

09:57

quarter for it is that something that

09:59

you can sell to us you wouldn't be a

10:02

problem the quarter panel it is shown

10:04

available from rollsroyce so essentially

10:07

what when we order from rollsroyce we

10:09

can get them in two working days the

10:10

price is

10:13

89599 plus the B oh

10:17

wow £8,000

10:20

w00 a lot

10:22

£8,000 600 plus V plus V for just that

10:28

for just that what's he made out of gold

10:31

how can it be that £600 just for that

10:34

and then we need all them bits at the

10:39

back are you regretting this

10:42

yet we are in Manchester Home of

10:46

Manchester United and we have some

10:48

goodies and a few stories to tell in the

10:52

back there's some parts of the rolls Ro

10:55

Manor that has been a great story and

10:58

that has been a good a win that's been a

11:00

win now about to take a loss we think we

11:03

may have found the bumper for the

11:05

Rolls-Royce rap but I'm going to have to

11:07

pay for it and there's a story behind

11:09

this let's go get it first so after the

11:11

first video went out rashford's team

11:13

reached out to me to say they had some

11:15

parts left over from the car in his lock

11:18

up now Apparently after the accident

11:20

happened the car got trailered there and

11:22

a lot of parts were hanging off it so

11:24

they took them off to keep them safe

11:26

some of which stayed safe but one thing

11:28

that didn't was the front bumper and it

11:30

ended up getting listed on eBay for

11:32

cheap really bearing in mind this mansor

11:35

front bumper wouldn't go on any other

11:36

rra but someone still bought it and I

11:39

don't blame them it was a bargain but

11:41

before we get back to that let me show

11:43

you what I got from rashford's

11:45

place a mansor bag which included a

11:49

mansu car cover worth

11:53

€90 a flannels bag which included Manor

11:57

floor mats worth 1

12:00

,500 a mansuri fordge carbon fiber front

12:04

grill surround worth

12:08

4,900 a mansor boot floor mat worth €

12:14

760 a Rolls-Royce Rave front grill with

12:17

the mansor inserts and badge price

12:20

unknown a mansor wheel cap worth

12:25

€129 the Black Spirit of ecstasy price

12:30

unknown now I want to say thanks to

12:32

rashford's team for giving us all of

12:34

this cuz they didn't have to but this

12:35

has saved us so much money but they also

12:38

GS more information on the

12:40

crash the original the actual bumper

12:45

from the Rolls-Royce we're going to

12:47

explain the story but it oh there is a

12:49

oh look is it crack there in a dent it

12:52

is slightly damaged but all of this we

12:55

know how expensive all of this is so we

12:57

have saved a bit but again let me

13:00

explain so it turns out the guy who

13:01

bought the bumper off eBay was also

13:03

biding on the car and wanted it just in

13:06

case he won it which obviously he didn't

13:08

so he then listed it on Facebook

13:10

Marketplace for

13:11

£3,000 which to be fair is a fair price

13:15

this thing's worth £12,000 without the

13:17

extra bits on it so then I bought it but

13:20

in my opinion someone's been a little

13:22

naughty here and the bumper should have

13:24

stayed with the car all along and then

13:26

your extra bits like this carbon fire a

13:29

bit on the side €

13:32

4,600 so it's €1,000 € 4,600 for the

13:36

pair of them that front splitter is

13:38

extra I I I don't even know it's

13:40

probably going to be around £20,000 for

13:43

this front bumper on top of that inside

13:45

all of here they are like daytime

13:48

running light

13:52

things

13:54

but one thing that we still don't have

13:58

the umbrellas

14:00

they didn't have them they still we

14:01

still don't have the umbrellas who's got

14:03

them someone's got them someone's got

14:07

the umbrellas I will not stop until we

14:10

get those

14:11

umbrellas next thing we got to remove is

14:14

that broken fuel tank from underneath

14:16

cuz a lot of the stuff is bent that

14:20

b i then remov the filler pipes of the

14:23

tank oh no who say it had no fuel in

14:26

well not it shouldn't have fuel in the

14:28

filler is there a football to do with a

14:31

mess oh that's very

14:34

messy okay the football puns are getting

14:37

worse by the minute with the hoses off

14:39

we can now start to lower the tank down

14:41

remembering to disconnect the electrical

14:43

connectors which go to the fuel pump

14:45

which sit in the tank now I mentioned

14:47

earlier that rashford has seen the video

14:49

and his team said he's a little upset

14:52

because the crash wasn't his fault and I

14:54

believe him the insurance actually paid

14:56

out and it wasn't his insurance that

14:59

that paid out for the damage it was the

15:01

75-year-old L that caused the accident

15:05

let me explain how the accident happened

15:07

this was the road where the crash

15:09

happened now further up the lane splits

15:12

into two now from my understanding the

15:14

74 year-old was driving in the left lane

15:16

and rashford moved into the right lane

15:19

but later down the road she went to

15:21

merge into the right lane and hit

15:23

Marcus's car sending him into a spin and

15:26

smashing down the post here luckily both

15:29

both of them are okay but it was deemed

15:31

the 74y old lady's fault so if the

15:33

insurance paid out how come it's not

15:35

categorized that is a whole different

15:37

story in itself and there's apparently a

15:40

legal loophole we found someone who can

15:42

explain that for us but before we get

15:45

onto that story we've got a front

15:47

subframe to remove because you can see

15:49

here it is completely ripped apart and a

15:52

lot of the arms which attached to it are

15:54

pretty bent as well first thing off are

15:56

the wheels then we can remove the Arch

15:59

line more structural damage I didn't

16:01

even spot

16:02

this look at

16:06

that oh after that front caliper is

16:09

coming off and all the brake lines and

16:12

electrical connectors that connect to it

16:14

remember this car has only done 1,000

16:16

miles so a lot of it is pretty much

16:18

brand new so we want to keep it that way

16:20

so we can reinstall

16:24

[Music]

16:26

it then I'm going to be taking the break

16:28

disc off again which is pretty much

16:30

brand new and my dad's undoing all of

16:33

the hydraulic lines which go into this

16:34

thing underneath the car which we still

16:36

haven't worked out what it is and now

16:38

I'm undering the bolt which connects the

16:40

steering rack to the steering column

16:42

inside the car so at the minute the

16:44

engine is resting on this subframe and

16:46

if we start lowering the subframe the

16:48

engine is going to come down with it but

16:49

the gearbox which is attached to the

16:52

engine is mounted here to the chassis of

16:55

the car so it's still kind of all as one

16:58

we want to get the subframe down but

17:01

leave the engine in now what I'm going

17:04

to do is undo these two bolts

17:07

here which are the two bolts which are

17:10

connecting the subframe to the engine so

17:14

now I can separate the sub frame to the

17:15

engine problem is there's nothing

17:17

holding the engine at the top of the car

17:18

which is what we're going to have to

17:19

figure out in a minute so we'll loosen

17:23

these out and then we can lower the car

17:25

down to support it from the top usually

17:28

You' use this for this job so usually

17:31

this would go across the top like that

17:34

sit on a wing sit on the other Wing you

17:37

hook and you hook that to the engine

17:39

mount and then this would hold the

17:41

engine up in place whil you take the sub

17:44

frame down but the issue is this is

17:46

resting on this carbon fiber wing and I

17:50

don't fancy putting all the weight on

17:53

this carbon fiber Wing although it is

17:54

pretty strong yeah but this is like 800

17:57

kilos that's got to going on it

18:00

yeah no we're not risking it don't even

18:04

think about it it's pretty strong no

18:06

it's not it's not this is not going to

18:08

take 800 kilos yeah but it's not 800

18:10

kilos it's taken is it really 400 it's

18:13

like it's distributed throughout the

18:15

whole the whole bar so 400 that side and

18:18

400 this side well not exactly no cuz

18:20

then the the gearbox is being held to

18:22

the chassis so it is distributed quite

18:24

even there safety at its finest is

18:27

happening right now supported on the

18:30

chassis there and not supported on the

18:33

chassis there because we're lazy we need

18:34

to take the wing off more to the point

18:36

we've got to take the door off and we

18:38

got to mess with the side we don't

18:39

really want to mess with reinforcement

18:40

wood is

18:42

underneath holding that and then we're

18:46

going to crank it up like

18:48

this now this bar is supporting the

18:51

engine from the top and I'm hoping our

18:53

reinforcement wood will be able to hold

18:56

it okay happy with that

18:59

ain't going

19:00

nowhere now we can raise the car up in

19:03

the air and start disconnecting the

19:05

bolts which hold the subframe to the

19:06

chassi of the car and there's quite a

19:08

few of them because the front subframe

19:10

is going to be super heavy my dad's got

19:11

the gearbox stand to hold it and now

19:13

we're going to make sure everything is

19:15

disconnected before we undo the final

19:17

bolt after that we can lower it down

19:19

what's in there

19:21

oh rashford must have been drinking W

19:27

food what that is yeah it's a w food you

19:30

know what it is though yeah it feels y

19:32

if you're hungry yeah it's a meal

19:34

replacement drink it's not a diet drink

19:36

it's not a protein shape inside one of

19:37

these bottles there's 500 calories full

19:40

of vitamins and minerals 26 vitamins and

19:42

minerals time fiber Hine protein lactose

19:44

free gluten-free and there's no added

19:50

sugar now this is the mat Armstrong

19:53

limited edition bottle we've sold this

19:55

out so thank you so much to all you guys

19:57

who have got one of these but luckily

19:59

enough you can go and grab a w food

20:01

still you can still grab the happy

20:03

banana flavor in the taster pack if you

20:05

want to try this out try to be a little

20:07

bit healthier than usual replacing the

20:09

fast food at lunchtime you can do with a

20:11

link in the description box below and

20:13

this Banner appearing underneath you

20:14

right now you get a nice bit of discount

20:16

now let me know do we do another limited

20:18

edition Matt Armstong y food and if so

20:21

what flavor should we do we can do

20:24

anything I

20:25

think look at that

20:29

that's a

20:31

V12 up with a bit

20:34

water look at

20:36

that perish it's a good job we check

20:38

this because what's probably happened

20:40

from the accident these engine mounts

20:42

are oil filled to cushion the blow of

20:43

the engine now look look at it it's just

20:46

flying out of that so that's going to

20:48

need to be replaced but that nor

20:50

sometimes happens in an accident but

20:52

it's a good job be done that because

20:53

after a while you might when you

20:54

accelerate you right hear a little knock

20:56

knock that'll stop that bet that ain't

20:59

cheap look look look look

21:02

look the actual engine mount it's a good

21:05

job we've done this oh my God look at

21:07

that it's actually broke the cast

21:09

aluminium engine mount and you know what

21:12

so if this couldn't hold it but our

21:14

blocks of wood could hold

21:16

it so it it's absolutely peris e so as

21:20

we expected there was more hidden damage

21:23

and I'm guessing these engine mounts are

21:25

not going to be cheap but what I want to

21:27

know is how is this car not registered

21:30

as damaged even though the insurance

21:32

paid out well we called someone with

21:34

some inside

21:36

knowledge there's no legal obligation to

21:38

put to put a category on there's no law

21:40

about this it's actually a code of

21:42

conduct and it's a code of conduct that

21:44

insurers have signed up to if they're

21:46

members of the ABI which is the

21:48

association of British insurers so yeah

21:50

the insurance legally don't have to

21:52

categorize a car now the reason for this

21:54

if I get this right let's say you own a

21:56

rare Ferrari then there's a waiting list

21:57

for them and some hits into the rear

21:59

bumper and damages it now the only thing

22:01

the car needs is a rear bumper but

22:03

because the car is so rare it's going to

22:05

take over a year to get the rear bumper

22:07

and in your insurance policy it says

22:09

that you will get a likeforlike Car hire

22:11

for the time that your car is in for

22:13

repair and this isn't financially viable

22:15

for the insurance the car will be in for

22:17

repair for over a year and in that year

22:19

the insurance will be paying for the

22:20

customer's car hire so what they end up

22:23

doing is writing off the car giving you

22:24

a full payout for the car but then they

22:26

don't categorize it because then when

22:28

the car goes to auction it's likely to

22:30

reach more money so the insurance hasn't

22:32

taken as much of a hit so so you

22:35

essentially think that by them not

22:38

categorizing the car they're doing that

22:40

to benefit the secondhand sale at the

22:43

auction that's that's exactly what

22:44

they've done there's no question there's

22:46

no question they've done that one he

22:47

then went on to explain how the

22:49

manufacturers can have an influence on

22:51

the category of the car but I can

22:53

explain that on the mark 2 channel so

22:55

make sure you subscribe to both channels

22:57

now let's work out

22:58

how we're going to repair this

23:02

thing the steering rack here seems okay

23:06

apart from the trap rod end which is

23:09

bent that's broken this arm's broken the

23:14

the suspension strut is broken off that

23:16

side cuz it's supposed to look like that

23:18

side and this actual subframe is broke

23:21

as well like it's broken from underneath

23:23

this is going to and and then we need

23:25

engine mounts as well this is going to

23:27

be so expensive to do and then on top of

23:29

that we do need the manori stuff I've

23:32

got myself into it now so there's no

23:33

turning back I genuinely think our

23:37

option with the other

23:39

car is going to be the best I think

23:42

there's no other way around

23:48

[Music]

23:57

it

23:58

[Music]

24:16

guys this is Sue

24:19

[Music]

24:23

Sue right I didn't want to have to do

24:27

this

24:29

but we've got the all clear from Hannah

24:31

because we we

24:32

hav this

24:35

was the only thing we could do this is a

24:38

Range Rover an older one it's not a

24:40

Range Rover a Range Rover yeah a

24:42

rollsroyce Sue s is a Range Rover he's

24:47

not a Range

24:51

Rover upset keep getting the wrong card

24:54

Sue Sue is a rollsroyce

24:59

2015 she's 9 years old we had no other

25:03

option I tried to find crash damage

25:05

Rolls-Royce can't find them they all get

25:07

category B and when they're category B

25:09

they can't be put back on the road and

25:10

to buy a category b car you have to have

25:12

a license a Breakers license we tried to

25:15

find one with flood damage or an engine

25:17

problem we couldn't this financially is

25:20

our only option now if you look older

25:23

rolls-royce's devalue a lot the 2015

25:26

model going around 90,000 which is still

25:29

expensive for a car no doubt but it's a

25:31

lot better than

25:32

£350,000 and I got sue for

25:39

97,000 and this is the I can't even

25:42

express how much of a squeaky buom this

25:46

is going to give me now because from the

25:48

moment Seuss goes in this ramp she'll be

25:52

stripped apart and there's no chance of

25:54

me ever getting that money back it goes

25:57

against everything I've ever done

25:59

but from the amount of cars that we put

26:00

back on the road we're going to have to

26:03

take a loss on this one I think it's the

26:05

only way financially rashford's one

26:08

makes sense the thing is it isn't all

26:11

plane sailing from here the reason Sue

26:14

is cheaper is because she's the previous

26:16

model so you notice the headlights are

26:18

the preface lift so the front bumper is

26:20

different the headlights are different

26:22

there's a few things which are different

26:23

but generally we're hoping the front

26:26

subframe all the suspension the doors

26:28

and the rear quarter are going to be the

26:29

same which are the parts we need on top

26:31

of that the parts we don't use we can

26:33

sell which is really high value stuff we

26:35

just hoping people need them the

26:37

engine's worth around £30,000 as it is

26:40

with the gearbot we're still going to

26:42

have the whole interior we should be

26:43

able to gain a money back through

26:45

selling the parts that we don't use this

26:47

is £97,000 the rashford one has cost me

26:51

£84,000 we yet to find out how much all

26:54

the mansori parts are going to cost but

26:57

previous see we did find out from

27:00

mansor like including V £47,000 oh

27:05

[Music]

27:06

yeah if we actually let's come and have

27:08

a little walk Round sue

27:12

sue you to you're a

27:15

bit like a

27:17

Dr I just can't deny giving me the best

27:21

time
