An open two-wheeled passenger car of Irish origins, rarely seen outside of this country, and drawn by a single horse. It first appeared in Ulster during the late 18th century and is known by its back-to-back sideways seating. It can seat two passengers on either side, sharing the same footboard. The driver sits in front of the seats facing forwards and slightly higher than the passengers. This postcard is one of the ‘Valentine’s’ series and was used, though not postally, on the 8.11.38. It is also hand coloured but this does not show on the picture.
