I went to Copart to view a Ferrari 458 which i was interested in buying, but when i arrived i come across a crash damaged 2020 Rolls Royce Ghost which took both mine and Hannahs fancy. But there was one thing that stopped us from buying it..

So are we agreeing on the way the insurance have categorised the Ferrari & the Rolls?? 🙃
Sure, if they categorizing by throwing the dice 😂
P.S. in all seriousness - Ferrari is totaled, Rolls Royce - could be repaired, but it wouldn’t be cheap
However, it’s 50% BMW, so… 😉
Stevie wonder categorised these, clearly.
I'm a early subscriber to see your journey is amazing.
There is a good chance @mat Armstrong bought a Mustang 🐎
Assessors trippin' on something they found in the SVR!
Who else is here after he bought the Mansory Rolls Royce Ghost
It’s a Wraith, but yeah
No one
Wraith*

The amazing thing in this video is Hanna’s excitement for cars. My Gf would just say „meh“ to any car… You’re one lucky guy to have found her.
😂 same feeling here
@@JayC1988 At least my gf cares about the color and if it’s „cute“ like a fiat 500 or mini… 😅
Matt better wife her up now dont let that one get away lol!
@@ctlspl My gf be like "Oooh Toyota Prius is so cute it's like a baby Tesla" 😅 But she always respects other people's cars and she would never ever eat in my car even though I give her permission to. She's a sweetheart though I love her.
@@ctlspl or Ora Good Cat :D
Go for the Rolls
TOO MUCH LABOR
If the category is changed it's the Rolls all day long 👌
Awesome that you get to share the journey with your Dad!! Humble origins. Quality genuine viewing that can’t be beat!
Hannah has got it right! The Rolls is the way to go! 😊👍🏼
You’ve got the Lambo for speed, now it’s time for some luxury!
Would love to see this rolls rebuilt keep up the good work Matt👍
Yeah bentley or Rolls not another supercar 🥺
well it's cat b so no point unless he sells it off to africa lol
@@therealrando get it re evaluated. no way in hell that thing cant be fixed.
I’m the same, definitely the Rolls
Voting for RR, Ferrari have a good name, but its a bad company with unreliable cars.
Morning matt. I've been watching since day 1 and felt like I needed to message you and say how glad I think you've done. Been watching loads of videos of other people making videos of you. Glad it's all going amazing for you. Such a nice guy and feel like your one of the family. Great work mate
watching all this time and still managed to spell his name wrong?!
I spell it the same as my brother. Excuse me
@@martynlayton98 don’t get me wrong Matt is the only proper spelling
We all love you guys over here across the pond. Keep up the great work and all the great positivity!
Thanks bro
I found it funny when you noticed the BMW part on the car and said you’d confirmed it. I used to work in the BMW warehouse when it was based in Bracknell many years ago (they eventually moved the warehouse to Northampton). At the time it was a 24-hour operation receiving lorries from Germany, getting them into the right parts of the warehouse, picking, packing and then despatching all parts to dealerships for UK and Ireland. There was a team in there who picked all the RR parts, and their whole job was to get the BMW parts, change the label to RR and (at least) 4x the price to the dealers.
Bmw owns rolls
@@rardrioc6406 Err no BMW has a License to use the RR name from Rolls Royce who still exist.
@@duncbee Bmw owns Rolls Royce
Just one big con like Porche and VW parts.
@@duncbee BMW bought the automotive division of Rolls Royce. The ghost is build on the same platform as the 7-series. Phantom only uses components. The Rolls Royce that is not bought by BMW is the aviation division.
When we were little, we all dream about having those cars we see in cartoons and movies. This guy actually is living the dream. Good for you!
living a dream would be if he was able to buy these cars in dealership with a cash (no rental, no leasing and other things)
repairing cheapest af crashed cars is not something unique
@@andr27 who shat in your cornflakes m8. very few people have the capital or determination to do what is done in these videos. if it’s so uninspiring to you, maybe keep your negativity to yourself.
@@andr27 You sound bitter
@@yungen_leem I don't think he's bitter, I think he's jealous.
And motorbikes too
The reason the Rolls is a category B is the steering wheel got knocked to the wrong side during the crash.... Even so what a cool fix.
Can't it be fixed to road worthy?
Love watching your videos. Hannah, and you make a great team. The enthusiasm that you both share is amazing
Keep up the hard work both of you, and will soon have TV show, which would be simply fantastic.
Oh btw deffo the RR 😉❤
I genuinely get so excited by these uploads. Must be a hell of a lot of work doing it so regularly! Fair play mate.
It's a great hobby brother!😬😬👁🤔🙏🙏💪👊👏👍👊
Thanks so much mate!!
I actually every time i go on CZcams i cheek mat channel out first .. Mat you are legend in what u doing .. Keep it up mate 🛠🚗🚗
Great video. How much foe a replacement shell ? I see P4UL W has replaced it with a ROLLS ROYCE CULLINAN BLACK BADGE AUTO
Love itttttt
I lean toward the Rolls. That 458 seems like a lot more work. Love your videos!
He didn’t clarify it in the video; but I would guess the categorisation would mean it’s uninsurable so therefore not an option
@@alexjh12345 you cant buy cat B cars without a breakers license either
Bigger build means more content get the 458
The Rolls Royce is a Cat B....the first images you show the rear door and quarter panel, on the passenger side, look closer and you can see that the door has kissed the quarter and left a bulge in the skin. For this amount of force to have telegraphd that far down the car to the B pillar and even on a suicide door means that the thing is DEAD.
Don't touch it with a barge pole, its far far worse than you think!
@@danstewart8218
It'll buff out that😁
Far more money and utube views in the roller.
Man i'm so glad i found your channel. Bringing these beauties back to life fills me with joy.. kudos.
To be honest you're taking over CZcams man, Better content that most of these car youtuber. Thank you ! Keep it up!
You are a better man than me bud, I can't see how the 458 could ever come back to life. I guess that means I would watch every episode lol
I’d actually love to see you do something like the Alfa it’s different too 😊 I’ve loved watching your builds and they’ve been really inspiring for the way you’ve learnt to sort it all yourself
Ikr!! When I saw the Quadrifolgio I was like 😮
@@jonwarta4016 me too i was like yes plzzz that’s my dream car
@@jonwarta4016 the quadrofoglio would be amazing!
Good on you mat taking on a challenge with such enthusiasm and end result quality
Mat, Ive been watching cars on CZcams for over 15 years now. You take the cake! Best content hands down! Keep it up mate
15 yrs?
@@bernardbernabe7733 Maybe not over, as CZcams is 17 years old. But yes, why?
I thought I was going to say go for the 458, but the RR Gost would be a mega build and one heck of a motor once you've put the MA touch on it 🤜🤛
Mat, I just have to say that your enthusiasm and energy that you have on screen is amazing! There's lots of channels that rebuild cars, but I really find your positive attitude to be so much more enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!

I always watch your stuff my guy. I feel inspired to tell you about my new car I got last Saturday. It's not quite the same as cars you usually go for but I love the thing with all my heart and I know how you feel about getting a new car so I wanted to tell you about it. It's a 06 Lincoln Town Car signature limited. It's got 70k miles on it but I swear it's never been out in the rain until yesterday. It's still got all the inspection marks on it everywhere it's so perfect and I just love the thing. I swear it's the best Lincoln ever made. I over paid for it and I don't even care. The dealership straight got me for about 1700 bucks cuz of the great shape it's in and I'm just happy they and I had a good day when I bought it. Keep loving cars and making cool videos.
It is insane to think you are only 20 mins away from my town, and only now youtube has shown me your content! instantly subbed! incredible vibes and love the BTS of the cars and builds!
I love this extreme optimistic approach of Mat towards a complete wrecked car.
After finally finding a single part that's not damaged:
12:50 -> "The good news is...." notices the brake disk is damaged after all "ah noooo..."
13:20 -> "The good thing about this is... it's gonna put a lot of people off which would obviously mean a lower price"
Thanks Mat for always showing us the positive perspective on even the worst situations.
True! Amazing optimism
This is deffinately ambitious. I'm almost certain you'll struggle to get any parts from dealership and good luck getting them from local parts shops. Ebay will be your friend on this car. You are certainly a braver man than I 😂
Mat you are WAY too cool for those glasses mate! Time to get a set of frames that compliment you and what you do. Thank you for passion, you're an inspiration.
We all thank COPART for letting you make this content for us to watch! Greetings from Norway!
When I had my Ghost, one of the first things I did was to remove the umbrellas and champagne glasses, so they don't walk off! The R-R umbrellas are $500 each from an authorized dealer. The champagne glasses are unique to the car as the base is smaller than a standard glass. They are only available in pairs. Should you break one, they are over $800 for the pair. You don't want someone carelessly break one while toasting. Chin Chin!
I did the same with the umbrella from my Pulsar GTI R 🤣
of course you did Kev
I don’t think anyone who owns a ghost will be that bothered about the cost if Umbrellas and shit
@@johnstonlee I think the ppl who have money for this, they know how to count and how make the money. Bcs I never met person who is multimilionaire and dont wanna safe some money somewhere to have more money.
I had a ghost once. It used to scare the shit out of me.
Mat every time I think you can’t top yourself anymore you manage to find a way. Rolls Royce would be the pinnacle of what you have built if you get one, but even then I reckon you’d still find a way to top that too. Massive props.
I would hazard a price guess for the Ferrari at about 15-20K considering the condition it is currently in and all the repairs and parts needed (and any nasty little surprises that may come along)
12:03 electric cars don't really tickle my fancy 😂🤣
Hey Mat, in 2023 hearing someone talk like this has become very rare, you have all my respect.
I am a V8 sound lover, without sound, better to ride a bike.
What a great channel you have, I have been watching you for a week now, ever since I discovered you, I was looking for some inspiration to fix my old ''non electric'' V8 car, and you came up as recommended videos, now I can't stop watching your restorations, it's nice to see that you restore them as original as possible with improvements and customizations.
For once the video recommended by youtube wasn't bad.
Keep going with your awesome job 😉👍
Greeting from Italy 🇮🇹
Fair Play to you Matt so much confidence in fixing these cars without all the proper workshops and knowledge keep the videos coming 😊
Would be CRAZY! To see the 458 come back to life from that but the rolls is something else! 👀😎
Off to see if copart have a channel, great vid
Rolls Royce what a dream car even with damage as long as safe to drive Bentley same more for the under 50s both fab
Absolutely love all your rebuilds, I’d really like to see you do another more affordable build like you did with the m140 and golf r etc. maybe you could do something even more affordable?
He absolutely has to buy the rolls royce, this car is made of the stuff dreams are made of!
No point in buying as it can never be registered again so off to the crusher it goes.
@@sheerluckholmes5468 Unless there is such a thing as a re-categorization(?)
What I like the most at your videos is your enthusiasm and excitement 😜
Would love to see another video like you made a while back of all the cars in your collection now!!
I love to see how far you have come man, and how the channel is growing! Felt like it was yesterday I saw your rebuilding series on the golf r.
Hands down the best car youtuber, much love man from sweden
really want to see you doing the RR, i know its hefty and times are hard, but you also have the viewers full support no matter what your decision is. Really appreciate what you do
I also vote for the RR
From what I was told by someone who inspects crash damaged vehicles he said the new write off markers are still done with the old ones in mind where the price of the repair is how they determine the category it’s under
lol im always at newbury as i work for a motorcycle breakers this site is one of the best they are so helpful in loading the bikes as some are more broken than they look online 😀
I can’t even fathom how much work it takes restoring these cars to glory matt. But wow do I get excited when I see a notification from you 😮💨👏👏
I love the way you presented both cars Take either from you and your team both will be sweet views. 😬
I was in the Met police and was a trained vehicle examiner and trained to recover engine numbers even from engine block that has been ground down by the people that stole also have manuals for the hidden VIN numbers by the manufacturers. There is a way to find the true identity of a car it just takes time and patience. Great video just found your channel 👍
Sorry not to numbers I do t know.
Keep up the hard work matt content is always amazing and you’re a grafter I’ll give you that. 😊
this channel is so underrated! this man is living the dream
Go for the ghost
Enjoy all these. Can’t wait for next vid. Love the Lamborghini build and the Poresh
Question: what do you do with the cars you finish? Would be cool to see if you sell them and how much you made on them!
Some awesome finds there but would love to see a Rolls on the channel 😀
Mat you need to buy it! I work for RR! They go together very similarly to BMW’s. Parts may be very difficult to get though
Wow.. Love the umbrella thing, but just like to say my 22plate skoda got the same idea ☔😂😂. Keep up the good work thou.
Matt, love your channel, am a sucker for Ferrari and would love to see the 458 rebuilt!
Would love to see the Ghost being rebuilt and I think the 458 will be £30K plus the same again in parts and paint. You never disappoint with your videos. 👍
If it was me, I would go for the Roller if you could get the category changed from a Cat B to a Cat S. Much cheaper and quicker fix in the long run. You would be Ballin' then.
My thoughts exactly
That's a Series II Ghost Black Badge - really nice spec. Headlights you found were Series I spec tho. Most expensive part on the car might be the carbon fibre wheels.
Those are fun vehicles to work on and repair, best of luck to ya! Enjoy the process 😁
Another one, thank you Mat
Much love from SA🇿🇦🇿🇦
This is so weird, I literally subbed to you this week and I've been binge watching all the projects while off work ill. I finished the Porsche series (up to date) this morning and thought to myself I'd love it if he did a Ferrari 😂 but holy shit that rari is way too gone surely? There's no bloody floor in the front and the rear subframe is completely snapped off!? But I suppose even if you manage to get it road worthy for under 100k it's going to be an epic series and it'll keep the channel going and attract the Ferrari crowd!
Cant wait to see this beauty of rebuild good job Mat 🤑
Hi Matt love all of your videos big fan 👍👍 also the way you present you videos is amazing keep up the good work.......almost forgot just thought I'd give you a heads up that as Rolls Royce is solely owned by BMW you might find some part are the same as possibly a series 7 BMW take it easy dude
Copart aren't silly, they treat you well and get some free advertising, you are literally living every car lovers dream!! 🤤🤤
Do the RR Mat, it would be rude not to! Keep up the great work, love your videos 👌
My bro n I are massive fans here in Perth Australia we originally from East Sussex in the late 80s we love the content and you’re a huge inspiration mate keep it up
The rolls it would be
am from Jamaica I enjoy your videos and inspire a lot of young generation less work and parts to get faster come back
You know you want the 458 Mat ;D It would make for a great series. A HUGE challenge, but man, you got the fire and the drive and thats why we love watching your videos bro. (As long as its auctioned somewhere between 20-30k in my opinion)
It's going to cost at least 200k dollars to fix it
When you say ‘I know what you’re thinking, I don’t need anymore cars’ - I don’t think that’s what any of us are thinking! The opposite in fact! 😂
That’s a Spyder 458 Matt, way different back end than a Coupé and worth more. I think the bumpers and lights are slightly different too
The Rolls cat won’t be changed , and it has a 760il BMW engine and gearbox etc
Awesome car. Maybe it has got something terrible hidden. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Would love to see you rebuilt the Rolls Royce. I guess (as a mechanic) the Ferrari has too much (maybe also not yet detectable) damage on it and the prices for the parts are really insane there….
yeah, looks like a total loss to me
Love your videos Mat, and this is coming from 48 year old married Mom in the US! I have a question....Is there any way to have the Rolls re-evaluated? Is there a process to go through? It just seems as if it's a huuuuuuge loss of a beautiful car! 😣
My guess is: that Rolls have something to do with the classification. They don't want someone rebuilding their products and returning them to the market place.
Go for it May. Listen to Hannah, if the price is low the Ferrari would be an awesome project.
One of my favourite CZcamsrs love it. The air max thief from Birmingham 🤣🤣🤣
YES INDEED BROTHER, GO FOR THE ROLLS-ROYCE........🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾👍🏾
I’d like to see the Rolls Royce come to life, although I’ve heard it’s really bad in electronics and such, but great driving experience. I’ve heard that a Rolls Royce must have service quite often as well, because of minor problems, but expensive ones, so unless you’re crazy rich, it’s never worth owning one. Perhaps Mat can restore it to a better car altogether
If you hear of the prices of the parts it is build with it is like bang and olufsen. Expensive on the outside cheap on the inside. Pay for the brand?
I love watching all matts videos.
With that damage you would need a proper shop. But good purchase you can fix it. 👍
Hey Mat, go for the RR, that's the jewel worth rebuild :D
Would love to see a rebuild on the RR
Hope it's all genuine. Good man.
May you reap more so you can help more. Good on you Matt who is reping a surname like ArmSTRONG ❤
That one is a keeper - Ultimate daily driver.
srsly tho. You should get it. Even if it stays as Cat B. Itl be the perfect donorcar
"Normally you can't see the car before you buy it."
Ladies and gentlemen, I call that Fing shady.
Take RR please :). Ferrari will be a nightmare to rebuild and once you'll finish it, Ferrari lawyers will sue you :).
Too much faffing about involved with the Ferrari fix. 👍
I love classical music and music in this video is so beautiful.
We need Hanna to describe the finds! She makes you excited for even the biggest of wrecks. Lol
Definitely rebuild this and upgrade it to hell and back mate. Love it. Always inspiring
How is the Rarri not a cat B...
…why did the color of the safety jacket change? 😅 1:34
For safety reasons!
Check under the floor of the passenger front for vin on range rovers!!! Sometimes they are in there !!!! It helps if they were stolen
Well if you end up for whatever reason getting the 458 and replacing the brakes, subaru wrx front breaks I believe fits the rear and a corvette z06 the front but I could be wrong. I know that normal guy supercar mentioned it. Furthermore I know some fuel pump stuff is off of a Kia rondo. Either way Try fiat or alfa Romeo parts first if you end up getting it.
Honestly don't know how Mat up's the level every time but he does it time and time again 👏👏
Mat I'm a fan all the way South Africa I love the channel and keep it up I'm so inspired
Yes we are here and representing!
I'm from Jamaica 🇯🇲 I love your videos bro I watch a lot and I would love to see you get that back to fit 🎉
Hi matt all love in SOUTH AFRICA and good luck in your projects
Mat: **Spends £100k on a Murcielago** "OMG my poor bank account"
Also Mat: **Immediately goes to buy a Rolls Royce**
I’m only half way through this and I know it’s 9 months old but I really really hope you got this😮💨
hi mat, really love your vids. but why do you have to put such loud background music on them. i am constantly having to adjust the volume up and down.
You should restore some wrecked Nissan GTR or Toyota Supra
