Wagonette

A wagonette, sometimes spelled waggonette, is a four-wheeled, open horse-drawn carriage that originated around the 1840s, distinguished by a driver's seat at the front and passengers entering from the rear to sit facing one another on longitudinal bench seats running along the sides. Mounted on four sets of springs and often fitted with an optional canopy top, the wagonette was built to carry groups of passengers rather than a single party, and its name literally means little wagon. The type survives in working use on the car-free Channel Island of Sark, where wagonettes still carry visitors, and it also appears today in competitive driving events.
