hey all..
i have my 54 type one and would like to know its approx weight - standard weight is fine
+ would also like to know how much a 76 model microbus 8 seater bay would weigh as well??
thinkin of getting a car trailer and want to know what i should build it for with weight in mind?

come to think of it if anyone has a tandem car trailer that takes these breeds can you put some measurements up here so i can get some ideas turning over in my skull pls..
thanks

Those bus weights would be very close for 69 - 79. My 1979 Microbus is 1300 kg TARE.

'72-'79 with the TIV engine. I don't have any data for the 1600 variant of the Bay.
