Lee,
I'm going to guess around 130 - 150 pounds. I base this on the fact that I can
lift my TR6 frame and move it around the garage by myself, and that's about
the limit of what I can move. Also, a Ford engine block weighs 127 pounds, and
I can just lift it up off the floor and onto a work bench, and that seems
about the same as the frame.
I had a magazine a while back with an article on strengthening a TR4 frame,
and the author gave the weights for that. I don't have the magazine now, but I
remember the weights he gave were close to what I thought they would be. I
believe the magazine was Grassroots Motor sports, but I'm not sure. I"m
certain someone on the list will have the magazine, and report back with the
weight.
