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.

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.

Officially' stated by Morgan is in the German "registration attest" (hope it is the correct english translation) is 880-1100kg!
