Anyone here who can help?

Something close to 800kg I assume.

Why don't you put your car on a weigh-bridge to check the real weight?
Whreever farmers deal with their products on larger scale they use weigh-bridges. Another excuse for a trip to the countryside.

I was talking about Cain's weight a few weeks ago with him, I mean the weight of his 4/4, if I recall correctly with a full tank it was around 860kg. His has a pair of anti-tramp bars, panhard rod, brake reaction bars, balance and driving lights so these will add to its weight compared to a standard one. Also his is a 1600cc, so there will be difference to an 1800 but probably not much.

Thanks to all!
I had to weight the car (4/4, Duratec 1,8l, year 2005 with ssteel wire wheels, spare wheel, luggage Rack, overriders, cup holder, easy up Hood, Tools and with complete filled fuel tank).
And important: No doorhandle oops

The weight is 920kg!

Quite heavy! I'm surprised.

So why did you add a cup holder?

Not sure we should be surprised that the actual weight of our cars differs from that 'officially' stated by Morgan. Mind you as I haven't bothered weighing mine, and don't have a cup holder, who knows.
