Hey fellow type 3 owners!

Just wondering what the kerb weight of a type 3 would be? In particular I want to know what my early notch would weigh?
Anyone have the info or a link to it?

Thanks, T :tu:

I have 790kg on the compliance plate of my 67 Fasty, dont know what it refers to as the rego papers say 890kg which is about right.

the weight you have sounds like a late model spec check youre fasty and see it it matches ( subi powered one). Sometimes when you get a car blueslipped and have no papers the rego guy goes from what he finds in the books and may have picked the later weight no early.
The listing of the 3 weights on id plate i'm pretty sure refer to weight of unloaded car , load of kg it can take and then overall weight with load on board. Maybe wrong you never know
