- you want one that is 95cm (3ft) 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.

Buy or hire the Alicante if...
A low-cost, lightweight trailer for campers and DIY users who want an occasional-use box trailer that any car can tow. At 136kg unladen it is light enough to move by hand around a drive, and the lift-off lid means it can be loaded from any side rather than over a tailgate.
