NEW BUILD FOR NEW YEAR?
AGE VERSUS MILEAGE
MOST OF MY BUILDS I MANAGE TO KEEP WITHIN THE £20K BUDGET
TO ACHIEVE THIS YOU ARE PROBABLY LOOKING AT A CHASSIS 2009-2012 (in the region of 7 to 9 years old with a mileage up to 100k )
Higher mileage donor vehicles come cheaper and so the end price will be less.
CHASSIS 2 to 5 YEARS OLD (2013-2016 ) with mileage up to 100k are likely to have an end price of £20-25k
Again higher mileage can come cheaper .
All are built with a design offering a closed off horse area which can be opened right up to offer a second emergency exit .
Within this basic design there are some spec options .
I have two in build at present (both sold) one is on a 2016 chassis with 58k miles ,the other a 2011 chassis with 35k miles .
The starting point for ordering one of these boxes is to discuss budget and donor vehicle requirements .
Pictured below is the latest "creation" (sold). It is on a 2012 chassis with 109k miles .
The buyer of this one prioritised age over mileage within her budget (although it has to be said one of these vehicles with 109k on the clock is probably only at one third of its potential mileage .)
It has two central partitions ,fully adjustable, to enable one large horse to travel centrally and thus give the vehicle a better balance .
The buyer of the 2011 with 35k on the clock prioritised mileage over age of chassis keeping within her budget .
The buyer of the 2016 with 58k on the clock stretched his budget a little to achieve the best of both variables but it has still come in under the £25k top limit mentioned above .
