A horsebox thats old unseen off ebay if you knew the builder did solid great coachbuilds and it had 12 mths plate? It looks in great condition

Personally, no. Only because although the body might be fab, the engine or chassis could be bad.

No I would have a look first. The cab/chassis could need a lot of work which could be expensive. I dont trust platings and I dont trust MOTs.

Thanks, sensible head back on It had about an hour to go hence me asking on here as Im known to be very cautious normally!! God if I would have bought it, I would have had some sleepless nights lol.
Its finished now and went for a 'bargain price'. I was only browsing, seen it and thought wow. I wouldnt have considered it apart from the fact it was made by a good builder.
Ah well.

possibly but its far better to ask some questions or better still go and have a look, it might be a quality build but it would depend on what happened to it regards maintainance and care in the interveing period before it was listed on Ebay..

Just out of interest, it was 7'6 wide with tack lockers which is what put me off as Im not sure my horse would have fit. Mine was 8ft wide without tack lockers and friends same but with lockers. He fit ok in that.
Is 7'6 wide normal especially with lockers??? Partitions werent telescopic so not sure how much of an angle they would have been able to go at?
