I been looking over the new car and the there is a TVR plate showing a gross vehicle weight as 1270kg! I thought that these cars were in the region of 1050 kg?

Does that assume two not so slight passengers?

Hi Graham.

Yep, gross covers the total amount including a boot full of wine from a Euro trip.

The cars weight is the "kerb weight".

Let's meet up in a couple of weeks for a compare. smile

I am thinking of going in the old car and put a for sale in the windscreen so the comparing may be out of the window but could be possible to call in.

Are you near the Guildford or Dorking jcn of the A25? I know where you from the dual carriage way but cant remember what it is near!!!

Memory indeed! I thought that the cockerel roundabout was at Guildford! On the way back then, not in the other direction!
