The register lists 3 versions with 115 to 125 kW from four-cylinder engines of 2,299 cm³, kerb weights of 2,648 to 2,860 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 3,950 to 3,980 kg, lengths of 6,239.5 to 6,760 mm and a width of 2,145 mm.

Horseboxes such as the Excelsion line are aimed at stables, breeders and competition riders who want to transport one or more horses under their own power; in this British niche market Paragan competes with, among others, Roelofsen and Equi-Trek, with providers differing mainly in interior fit-out, equipment level and the towing vehicle's licence class.

When buying a used horsebox of this kind, check the condition of the floor in the horse stall, corrosion of the body frame caused by moisture and droppings, the function of the partitions and loading ramps, the wiring of interior lighting and ventilation, and, on the chassis, the usual wear points on brakes and suspension under frequently high payloads.
