Talking about the new Boat Tail, Alex Innes, Head of Coachbuild Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said, "Every Rolls-Royce Coachbuild commission is, of course, incredibly special; but in this case, there was an additional depth of feeling. Creating a motor car in honour of a revered client's father and family history is an extraordinary privilege; a responsibility that we took very much to heart. The commissioning patron's deep-rooted connection to Boat Tail is an inspiration - the result far exceeds a means of conveyance to become, quite literally, a moving work of art."
The rear section of the car comes with the signature folding deck, treated in Royal Walnut veneer, while the the Spirit of Ecstasy fashioned in rose gold.
The car design and styling are inspired by a selection of four pearl shells, which were given to the company by the client. The shells provided inspiration for the exterior colour, which the company says is one of the most complex Bespoke finishes ever created by Rolls-Royce. It's a shimmering blend of oyster and soft rose, with large white and bronze mica flakes which adds that pearl effect. The bonnet gets a contrasting cognac colour, which contains fine bronze and gold coloured aluminium mica flakes complete with a layer of crystal and iced matt clear coat.
