The Victoria is a horse-drawn car appeared about 1840 in England, named thus in the honor of the Reine Victoria. She was popularized by the Prince of Wales, future king Edouard VII. Of an easy access, she is regarded as a car for ladies .

Victoria is a convertible with four wheels and two places, to which a seat was assistant on trunk for the coachman, drew by a horse and intended for displacements downtown. She is suspended by springs out of C, or a suspension with eight springs. The case goes down rather low in front of the rear axle, facilitating the access. The footboards and the mudguards are combined. Many tourist “barouches” are actually victorias.

The Victoria large-duke did not have a trunk with front, and was provided with a seat to the back for two servants. With the difference of the large duke, Victoria large-duke had a seat to notch removable, which made it possible to harness in Aumont, or to carry out since the back seat. The milord was similar to Victoria, but the seat of the coachman was fixed and it was thus always led by a coachman.
