Obviously drivetrain varies the weight, so does how complete the cars are. I'll guess the weight of fully completed cars with all the accessories, fully trimmed, paint, all fluids etc. This is from weighed amounts I have heard of around the traps up here.

Full complete Cobra's ranked roughly by weight:

Warrens DRB: 1050kg's (had the Harrison diet)
Harrison Cobra: 1050-1100kg's
Classic Revival: 1100-1150kg's
Superformance: 1150-1200kg's
DRB: 1200kg - 1250kg's
RMC/G-Force: 1200kg - 1300kg's

DRB GT40's: 1200 - 1250kgs (they are all full of creature comforts these days - air con, electric mirrors, cruise, remote locking)

This is just a general guide, as some peoples cars will be lighter, others heavier than average. I took a bit of a guess with CR and G-Force as I don't have first hand experience with their weights.

My brothers Harrison, is not full trimmed, not all body accessories, no paint, Lexus V8 etc, so is a very light Harrison.

Blair, the Superformance Cobras are glass, not aluminium. You might be thinking of Kirkhams.

You might like to revise the CR weight there Craig. Phil Neall's was 1050KG when he got it registered. I hope to have mine on the scales in the next few weeks and I'm expecting it to be around the 1000-1050 mark as well.

I guess it also has a lot to do with what kind of trim and accessories you are running in the car too.

There are plenty of places to cut more weight out of it as well. The cast steel rear arms weigh a ton. Some tubualr 4130 items will probably strip an easy 20-30KG off the weight.

From memory I think my CR was 1084kg when reg'd. Not sure how much petrol was in the tank though.
