Sorry - right figure, wrong units, I meant 1612 lb!! Glad to hear Lotus is planning to treating you lot to the Elise - it's a superb car! For such a light-weight car it is stunningly strong, as it is

As I thought, the Mini was light ( forwarded from a friend on another list ). Was the mini not sold in the U.S.? didn't it pass the "National Highway Traffic Safety Administration" tests?? ~~~~~~~~~~

NTSA didn't start most of those rules until 1971 - year sound familiar? It's when all the imports got those huge ugly rubber bumpers to pass the new standards, or disappeared completely because they
