I Need to get one moved from Devon to Essex and I’m being asked the weight, I’ve not got a clue.
Any help appreciated.

If it's not too late, according to the book, 2260kg unladen weight.

Thanks I looked in a few places and couldn’t find it, sorted on the transport now.
I’ve bought a 1966 Bentley T1 Mulliner Park Ward FHC, barn find.
Well that’s not strictly true, more a left outside a barn for 15 plus years find.
It’s rather rotten in places but I’m hoping it’s salvageable.

Yes, keep us posted, photos would be good!

As a '66 it's going to be an early one and it'll be interesting to see quite how early.

Good luck with it.

probably around 6000lbs which is what the rest of them weigh.

This one will be a fair bit less then.

We got it collected ok, that wasn’t cheap, £750 (265 miles) I’ve only got a couple of pic from when I found it, I then went on holiday, I’ll post some up when I get back.

Well done, is it a Mulliner or James Young? I always wanted a coupe. I have a convertible right now.

It says Mulliner in an earlier post.

Is the rear sticker Alan Kerr, as in Torbay?

Yes, the car is from the south west.

Got it up and running, it sounds like a spitfire ticking over, decided it’s to bigger project for me, so will probably stick in an auction.
