10 cwt is 10 hundred weight.
There are 20cwt in a long ton.....2240lbs
So the weight is 1120 lbs
School maths well remembered!
George, thanks for the math lesson...

Now I just need to remember this. My dear old departed dad always said that a day was a good day when you learned something new! I do miss him dearly. Oct 13th '08 was a sad day for the Lockwoods...

He was 11 days short of making it to 95.
Sorry to digress a bit.
So the MG M-Type weighs less than a M3W, interesting. But with the body being mainly wood with fabric, not too surprising I guess. 42" wide and wheelbase of 78". It truly was a Midget.
Thanks to all the other great replies and information.
I hope you all have a great 2019 Montlhery Autodrome adventure this year. Hope the weather is better than in '17.
