Eighteenth-century 'vehicle' gets twenty first-century 'once-over' The Lord Mayor's coach has been used in every Lord Mayor's parade since it was built in 1757, but historians had raised concerns that its continued use could threaten its structural integrity and that it might be in danger of serious damage. They were concerned that, without a better understanding of its behaviour the coach may have to be confined to a museum.
