Royal Contest.

This week's contest has the 6/8 HP 'Gouden Koets' (Golden Carrige) as a subject. Only the Queen or King of the Netherlands is allowed to have 8 horses towing the carriage. The yesterday married Prince and his wife Máxima could only have 6. Six horses that you really need to drag this very heavy and extremely costly carrige. We want you to give an estimate of the costs of this carriage in 1898, calculated in Dutch Florins of that time. The closest guess will win the famous PreWarCar T-shirt. The closest answer from Holland will be seen as second to the closest answer from other another country, as people from Holland have a more easy acces to sources. Send your answer/guess to [email protected] before 05-04-2002 23.59 Central European Time.
