Mat Armstrong is a British YouTuber from Leicester, born in 1993, who buys crash-damaged, flood-damaged and salvage supercars at auction and documents their rebuilds. A former BMX rider whose father was a car mechanic, he has become one of the most-watched salvage-rebuild creators in the world, with projects including Marcus Rashford's wrecked Rolls-Royce Wraith, the first crash-damaged Lamborghini Revuelto, and Porsches that Porsche itself declined to repair. His videos routinely disclose purchase and repair costs, making his projects a rare public window into the economics of rebuilding written-off supercars.

How these numbers are made
Car imagery: our own licensed model-catalogue photography, rendered as monochrome plates; hover a photo for its credit. Where Mat Armstronghas publicly stated what they paid or sold for, we use their figures and say so. Everywhere else, the figure is a Marque market-modelled estimate: the verified auction median for that exact model in its market at acquisition vs sale (or today). These are estimates of market movement during ownership — not statements of actual profit, and they ignore spec, mileage, modifications, fees and taxes. Cars we can’t price honestly show no figure.
Indicative only — not investment advice. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future value.
