Like John, I don't really see why the 3W needs to loose another 100kg it is not a track car, though I've had mine on the track, and the early Lotus 7's weighed in at around 500 kgs. Far from adding lightness, all 7-alikes have gained weight since then, including your own CR260 Paul, which has a claimed weight of 575 kgs. It would be interesting to check that on a weighbridge, as I intend doing with my 3W as MMC figures are always pretty unreliable!

The only 7-alike that weighed in considerably under the Lotus 7's is the FW400, but I also doubt whether that weighs the claimed 400kg, but again we need to weigh ours to find out the correct weight complete with fluids ready for the road. I'll revert with the relevant weights, hopefully in the not too distant future.
