Yeah, makes you wonder. A new toyota corolla (a 'compact' car) weighs 1250 kg. Whereas a 1964 Valiant AP5 weighs 1213 kg, and they're built like a tank (albeit a rusty tank).

And a mini weighs less than 650!

1365kg with driver. So mine was about 1240kg + some ballast + a heavy driver. :lol:

When you try and tell people that a Corolla is heavier they don't believe you!
