Buy or hire the Ascot if...
A simple two-horse trailer from Bateson, similar in capacity to the maker's Deauville model. At 2300kg gross it stays towable by a mid-size 4x4 or pickup, which is why it turns up with private owners and small livery yards rather than professional transporters.

- you want one that is 30cm wider inside
Positioned for classic car owners and smaller motorsport teams who want their car fully enclosed and weatherproof but do not need the wider bed of the Race Sport or Race Transporter ranges. The narrower internal width suits a single classic or compact race car rather than a modern GT car.
