A MUCH LOVED BOX NOW READY TO BE VIEWED WITH ME IN BRISTOL ( 12th October 2024) I am winding down on the sale of secondhand boxes and concentrating on my new builds however I am making an exception for this one which belongs to a customer who has just bought a new build from me . When I was dealing in secondhand boxes I would literally race across the country to buy one of these builds . This box was built by TRU LEISURE in 2008 and bought by me in 2010. Since then it has had two owners . These were very much "high end " builds and with the judicious use of aluminium (as opposed to cutting down on weight in critical places ) they are one of the very few well built boxes which achieve a genuine payload of 1.2 ton . 2003 plate Converted in 2008 Now 105k miles driving superbly with a cab in great condition which is consistent with the whole history of this box . The engineering of these builds is second to none and puts many contemporary builds to shame . Aluminium planked floor throughout Aluminium partition and ramp Complete MOT history from 2005 Complete service history from 2011 New cam belt fitted March 2021 New heavy-duty battery fitted February 2022 New gas struts on canopy October 2024 New MOT with no advisories October 2024 2 stalls rear facing Side entrance/exit ramp Large horse dimensions Grooms area to rear, with wardrobe and saddle holders Extra security locks on driver and passenger doors Interior lights to horse and groom areas Complete spare set of keys Very reliable, easy vehicle to drive Well maintained and in good condition throughout A jump barrier can be fitted at extra cost if required . Very happy for any third party horsebox inspection to be done prior to purchase . Please contact by phone /text or whats-app 07813 314928 £12,500
VERY LOW MILEAGE ! Staffordshire build on a @04 Movano with a genuine 35,000 miles I have known this horsebox since buying from original owner Current owner has had it five years and says it has always been reliable Large horse dimensions Good storage with large external tack locker at the back and two internal lockers Camera to monitor horses and for reversing Phone me on 07813 314928 Box with me in Bristol Price £12,500 I will try and add more photos but currently this website seems intent on making my life difficult
ANOTHER RACEMASTER ! AND AT THE RISK OF REPEATING MYSELF "AD NAUSEAM" I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH THE STRENGTH AND LONGEVITY OF THE RACEMASTER BUILD . This is one I sold the current owners some six years ago Built on a 53 plate Movano it has incredibly low and genuine mileage (circa 62k) It also benefits from the extras my husband added for the previous sale . These include the jump barrier , bite board , partition padding and hook back when loading . It has benefited from a respray since I sold it previously and has new board and matting on the ramp . It drives exceptionally well Payload will be around 1 ton and the price is £11,000 Please phone/text/whatsapp 07813 314928
Chapman horseboxes are always available to order see under new build section of this web site.
The one shown below sold in August 2015 has a couple of new features - a double and a single tack locker, a half partition with rubber skirt and an extra safety feature of a removable "tray" to bridge the tack lockers so no chance of a horse dangling a leg or two over the breast bar!
We listen to our customers and tweak the design to suit.
I also go the extra mile to source genuine, low mileage donor vehicles with service history.
These boxes are holding their value very well - one has just been sold by a customer, secondhand for more than the cost of a new build!
The Stock
I only have limited stock to offer at any one time, this is due to the scarcity of good boxes on the market generally at any one time. You will have seen that advert on television "we buy any car" and in Horse and Hound "we buy any horse", well I DON'T buy any horsebox! I look at construction and design as priorities and then of course at condition - we do" minor ops" to rectify mechanical faults, or design faults, and cosmetic refurbishments we are not interested in boxes that need major surgery!
I am always available (evenings, weekends, bank holidays as well as ordinary working hours) to give help and advice whether you are thinking of buying a horsebox from me or from someone else. Suitability and safety for the horses is always my primary concern so you don't have to buy from me if you just want advice.
29/08/2015 WANTED!
More horseboxes of the type I sell - Coach built Renault Masters/Vauxhall Movanos on a LWB.
Will also look at the Citroen/Peugeot/Fiat versions.Try me for a good price and stress free sale!
I am always interested in buying back or re selling for a customer after all I wouldn't have sold the box in the first place if I hadn't believed it was a good one!
Just recently a customer who bought a nice Marlborough Hunter from me some three years ago didn't tell me she had decided to sell - she actually took £1,000 less from a dealer than I would have given on a buy back price, so it's always worth asking.......
