The hands
The people behind the car
The people whose work shaped the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail.

Head of Coachbuild Design
Led the design dialogue that turned one shared Boat Tail body proposal into three separate client commissions.

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.

Market & Price
The Rolls-Royce Boat Tail reference estimate is USD 20,000,000–USD 32,000,000. The file contains 1 documented road sale, with individual specifications recorded separately. Actual prices depend on specification, condition and provenance; this range is not an offer or a confirmed sale price.
12 months from the model baseline
Model data: Jul 2026 · 1 documented sale anchors. Insufficient sales: illustrative scenario based on an estimated value and synthetic history.
P50 is the model median. The outer shading spans P10–P90; the darker band spans P25–P75. These are model quantiles, not verified probabilities or observed sale prices. The calculation extends the modeled trend and volatility; it does not include new listings, vehicle condition or transaction costs.

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.

HICON BID
A HICON Bid is a confidential expression of buying interest on the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail file — never public, never shown to other members. It is not a binding purchase, and HICONIUM holds no funds.

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.
