Three cars, three patrons
Boat Tail is a three-car Coachbuild series, not a production convertible with special trim. Each patron received the same hand-formed body idea and a different commission; identity and factory archive define the asset.

Estimate band for good road cars. 0 documented sales since 2019 plotted below.
Band, axis and sale positions shown in recorded USD. USD editorial estimate. The three cars are individually specified and may not command the same figure.
Instrument calibration for this file is in progress — the terminal above reads the documented record directly.
Empty ledger by design: a reported build cost is not a public transaction, and no attributable resale result was located.
Overview
After Sweptail, three clients independently responded to a proposal for a modern Boat Tail. They agreed to one common body form, then developed separate materials, colours and hosting details with Rolls-Royce over four years.
The first commission used rich blue paint, Caleidolegno across the aft deck and two reversible BOVET timepieces that could serve as wristwatches or dashboard clocks. Its restored 1932 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail provided a direct reference point.
Rolls-Royce completed three cars. The company has not disclosed their invoices, and no attributable example has appeared at public auction.

The vault
You keep one? The record starts in your garage — identity, papers, photography, and the market evidence this file already carries, bound to your chassis.
The value drivers
Two F40s can be indistinguishable in a photograph and a million apart at the hammer: the difference is never in the paint. Build the file below and watch the band move.

Spans are indicative, drawn from the documented sales cited beside each attribute. The calibrated multipliers — and how they compound for one specific chassis — are member instruments.
