Type of carriage (6)
I believe the answer is:
hansom
'type of carriage' is the definition.
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for hansom that I've seen before include "Vehicle with back-seat driver" , "One-horse cab" , "transport from the old days" , "Two-wheeled horse-drawn covered carriage" , "Two-wheeled horse-drawn covered cab" .)
