When you are looking for proof that the car was indeed handcrafted, then this settles it. In the snap, a man kneels as he perfects the vehicle's body with a smoothening brush.
Photo 2: Are they making a chair?
To show that the car took collective efforts of craftsmen, a man's hand could be seen with a hammer as he beat a surface.
Photo 3: Is that the cut-out of the coach opening?
A man focuses on a circle with gloves as he is captured in a position that suggests he is making a delicate cut to achieve a design.

Workmen took different positions as they worked on the body of the Boat Tail. Rolls Royce revealed that the car was made with 1,813 completely new components. The photo makes one wonder which of them they are fixing.
