    231 is not quite as bad as it looks. The first set of pictures show the obvious problem that the frame work has been exposed to the elements for to long ! If that could be over come and that is no small feat the rest of the coach is fairly simple. The key issue after you have spent your money what do you do with it ? The fact it is split in to two saloons means that your not going to many people in it. I hope some one like the 813 fund pick it up as it would be an ideal saloon to go behind something like 813... We all hope
