Does anyone know what a sapphire 4x4 cosworth weighs with all fluids filled but an empty tank? I know the weight according to the papers is 1290 kg, but mine was imported from Germany and according to the new Dutch papers it only weighs 1180 kg.

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?

 

Mine weighed in at 1360kg without aircon. 10litres of fuel. 17" alloys and a stainless exhaust.

Now mine has been completely stripped, carbon boot and bonnet the weight is 1175kg.

 

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

 

On the site of the RDW mine is stated at 1306/1406 kg
