Weight of Locost
Any idea of a ball-park weight figure for a 1600 crossflow engined book car.
Just wondered if my roadcar is gonna be legal for towing my Locost + my Trailer.
Tks

A pinto engined car with IRS rear would probably be closer to that.

Great, thanks to all.
My Saab 9-3 will pull that and the trailer no bother.
I have junked all the useless balast - heater, wipers & windscreen so I might be a little under the 560kg.
Ta 4 your time.
