The detail is eye-watering. The old coaches can be retired to a museum and the newer one used for the big occasions. I hope someone will reimburse him so he doesn't die penniless.

These coaches are beautiful works of art.

I literally had to sit back in my chair, I was so taken with this Coach. Each Coach Mr. Frecklington has designed and built is a masterpiece. The Commonwealth Coach is an excellent suggestion. I hope, too, that he is compensated/reimbursed for the money he has spent.
