Jaunting Car




The Irish form of the Sprung Cart , called a jaunting car or '''outside car''' was a popular mode of transportation in 19th Century Dublin popularized by Valentine Vousden in a song by that name. The jaunting car was peculiar in that its seats ran longitudinally and the passengers' feet were placed on a footboard outboard of the wheels. Legend tells of the knights of Erin fighting battles in chariots arranged this way.
