A writer describes Irish jaunting cars in Dublin with about 2000 public vehicles. Costs include £1 for owner license and a half crown plus a shilling yearly for drivers. Cars cost £40–£55, or thirty guineas without rubber tires. Made mainly of birch or walnut, with eight coats of paint and cloth cushions. Hoists include birch weather resistance, wheels of lancewood or hickory, and a movable well for bags or dogs. Cars are shipped from Dublin to Britain, India, Africa, and America, reflecting a sentimental link to home for wealthy Irish emigrants. The author admires the vehicle for its feel, balance, visibility, and liver benefits.
