Ha ha... The car was built in Pasty County hence a little lardy The driver has also succumbed to the dreaded pasty curse and now tips the scales at 100kg. Just as well we have adjustable boost to compensate  |

Udo, it's not all steel as Danny can confirm ? From memory it has fibre wings ,fibre bonnet and decklid - and lexan instead of glass in the windows so this all helps get it down to the 690 kgs. |

Dang! How do y'all get them so light?! LOL My 'streetcar' weighs in at 1950 (~886kg) with me in it. Our Unlimited Street class dictates minimum weight at 1700 (~773kg), and I'm gonna have a hard time getting down that low with proper safety ...  TxT |

UDO! What have you done to the car? I think you have added at least 70 maybe 80 kg? :-) Now I would not drive that car today with what I have learned since then. It was pretty dangerous to be honest in the late 70īs to mid 80īs. |

The original front axle made it heavier . But more save to drive like it is now. Sad that it is stored in a garage now  Udo |

Seriously you're all light weights!...Compared to mine 2200lbs ish or 1000 kg with me in it! i only weigh 76kg so thats not the problem!
It is an all steel 70s bug, lexan windows apart from front, with bumpers, all trim, full interior, turbo type 4 and 915 box.
Does that sound about right or do i need to look for some hidden lead weights somewhere?!!!

Rich I bet those wheels and tyres together with the 915 add about 150lbs to a normal bug,is it a steel or moly cage,its funny that the cars with the type 4[you & Patte] in are the heavyweights,must be something there cheers richie |
