650kgs isnt too bad depending on spec, a lot of car engine'd westies and Locosts wont be much less, although thats with all the plush interior, windscreen, heater etc etc.
Thats if it is only 650kgs though, as some of the Robin Hoods which use a similar concept seem to weigh considerably more than that.

I've built a 2b and they are indeed heavy, its chassis is the most awesome piece of automotive OVERengineering you could see, then most of the body panels are steel as well plus, like the CAT it retains the Sierra rear suspension bits.
I did hear that they are developing a new 2b with double wishbone rear.

Well tiger quote something like 560Kg's.....not too bad I think. There's no steel paneling in sight so the only difference really is the rear sierra suspension setup which I have been contemplating altering once its on the road....Oli.
