Summary: Jaunting Car
Key dates:
Still the most common form of transport at the beginning of the 20th century was the jaunting car. Sometimes called side-cars because of the position of the seats, jaunting cars were in common usage in both town and country. Many middle class families had their own horses and carriages.
