    I know it is tradition and all that but ...what an eyesore...[​IMG]

    The 'new' one built in 2014 isnt much better either even though it apparently is more comfortable and has AC and electric windows.:rolleyes:...

    Thing of its time though, in the 1700's when it was built that was high fashion... a bit like looking at a mobile version of the Palace of Versailles.

    The original one would probably be too expensive to maintain. Covered in gold leaf. Also

    The original huge coach is seven metres long, 3.6 metres tall, weighs four tonnes, and needs eight horses to draw it. Because of its age and and how heavy it is, it was/is only ever used at a walking pace.

    On display at the Royal mews.

    The latest in use is the 2nd photo. It has electric windows and air conditioning.

    See my other post Mr C. I must have not made it clear in my 1st post. The 2014 one is full of comforts I believe.
