When I was at the MoT registration station to have the registration of my V6 changed (from 2.0 DOHC to 2.9 V6) they were very difficult regarding the weight, so I find it hard to believe they weighed the cossie at 1180 kg. But I also find it hard to believe the German papers said it was 1180 kg.

But does anyone have an idea what it will actually weigh?
Try taking it to a local weighbridge or find someone with a set of corner scales.
Our local weighbridge is accurate to about +/- 25kg I think
Autocar reckoned on 1305kg for their test example
