The video is about a person who bought a damaged Rolls-Royce, previously owned by Manchester United player Marcus Rashford, for £84,000. The car had been in an accident and had significant damage, including a broken rear subframe, damaged fuel tank, and broken engine mounts.
The owner is trying to repair the car, but it's proving to be a costly and challenging process. They discover that the car has a ghost immobilizer, which requires a special code to start the engine.
The owner also receives some parts from Rashford's team, including a Mansory bag and a Rolls-Royce Rave front grill. However, they still need to find a way to repair the car's structural damage.
After consulting with an expert, the owner learns that the insurance company didn't categorize the car as damaged because they wanted to benefit from the second-hand sale at the auction.
The owner eventually decides to buy a different Rolls-Royce, a 2015 model, to use as a parts donor car. They pay £97,000 for the new car, which is a significant financial burden. However, they hope to recover some of the costs by selling the parts they don't need.
The video ends with the owner introducing the new car, which they've named Sue, and explaining their plan to use it as a parts donor car to repair the original Rolls-Royce.
