A Ralli car (or Rally cart) is a traditional type of
horse-drawn cart
A cart or dray (Australia and New Zealand) is a vehicle designed for transport, using two wheels and normally pulled by draught animals such as horses, donkeys, mules and oxen, or even smaller animals such as goats or large dogs.

, named after the Ralli family.
[Oxford English Dictionary: "the name of a certain Mr. Ralli, ‘Greek merchant’, the first purchaser of the vehicle, probably Stephen Augustus Ralli(1829–1902), heir to the merchant house Ralli Brothers, originally established by his Greek uncle"] The vehicle was commonly used as a general run-around for families.
The design developed towards the end of the 19th century and was derived from the
dog cart, which has the same seating layout. The Ralli though is a less 'sporting' version, with slightly smaller wheels than a typical dog cart and the bodywork has distinctive flared sides, curved over to form a mud guard. It has back-to-back seating, facing forwards and back, with space under the seats for luggage or shopping.
