Not a clue on the weight, cant be much less than standard if any. Whats the standard weight of a mini?

[benpopham]

Standard weight is around 700-750kg's. Yours has got to be around 580-600kgs?

[MJWarren]

really?

the only weight saving ive done is completely strip the interior lightweight seats, dash, bonnet, bumpers and wheels?

[benpopham]

Yeh theres got to be 100kg's saving done there. I'd say its around 600kg's
