Buy or hire the Race Box if...
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.

Buy or hire the Oblic+2 if...
A two-horse trailer that loads horses at a diagonal rather than straight ahead, giving nervous travellers more room to brace. It is hired by owners moving horses that struggle in conventional straight-loading boxes; UK ads sometimes list it under Cheval Liberte, the dealer that distributes it, rather than its actual French maker Fautras.
