Weight of Engine and Box.

Post by nick rogers »

Can anyone give me an idea of the weight of a built up 1275 with all ancillaries ? I am shipping 10 and need to comply with regs for trailers.
Thanks.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was about 150 KGs.
Can someone more learned than this old duffer confirm.?

That's the number that came into my mind
I've got a 69 Mini with a 1046, Cooper Head and a four on the floor.

This is pretty precise, you'll need to get your calculator out though!

Nick if you look in the service manual , the one I have is only for mk1 , it says engine transmission assembly 333lb or 151kg , auto says 357 lbs or 162 kg
Hope this helps, see you at Blyton .
