apreciated

Are you talking about a car, an engine or what?

I shipped a 1200 engine from Brisbane 2 yrs ago, it weighed in at 91 kg by itself. I wouldn't expect that there would be that much weight difference
between the models? I would quote it at 95kg plus the weight of pallet, etc.

That sounds about right. Thankyou Simon Now all i need are
dimentions. I said to Toll Ipec " about flat4 size" apparently they don't own dubs or they don't have a sence of humor, as that was not good
enough

oh and a US sales brochure I have has a deluxe at 1631 pounds and a standard at 1564. I didnt think those chrome strips were that heavy!
for comparison a 1962 type 3 sedan = 880kgs, a "station car" with 375kg payload capacity was 985kg and the 460kg capacity 995kg. 10 kg of extra
torsion bar!
