PLEASE REMEMBER THIS SET HAS BEEN DISPLAYED AND ESPECIALLY PLAYED WITH / THE CONDITION IS AS IS WHICH WE HAVE DESCRIBED BEST WE CAN WITH WORDS AND DIGITAL IMAGES . THE ACTUAL CORONATION CARRIAGE / COACH WAS BUILT ON ORDERS OF KING GEORGE III IN 1762 AND IS THE MOST ELABORATE AND EXPENSIVE COACH EVER BUILT IN ENGLAND. IT WEIGHS A FOUR TONS AND BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT REQUIRES EIGHT HORSES WITH FOUR RIDERS TO PULL IT ( WHICH IS WHY WE ARE SURE THERE ARE MISSING PIECES ) AT A WALKING PACE. IT HAS BEEN USED FOR EVERY CORONATION SINCE KING GEORGE IV AND CAN BE SEEN IN THE ROYAL MEWS AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE WHEN VIEWING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC .
