Probably - it's in the Firenza handbook (1433kg).

Yea, if we can’t find it how can they know if it’s correct, I’ll quote the hb estate or the firenza, can’t be that far away and I still think they’re just being awkward. If someone has a GT handbook it might be in it

I sent the 1600 HB estate figures to you via FB. Couldn't add a .png screenshot here.

There's a scanned copy of a Canadian 1970 Owner's Manual right here on the forum. There's an example of a tire pressures plate shown on page 52 showing "total vehicle capacity weight" of 860lbs. (i.e. five 150lbs passengers plus 110lbs of luggage) but it doesn't say which Viva model that's for. On page 58, there's a list of vehicle weights for the various models showing the GT weighing 2100lbs. You can find the PDF file of the handbook on the forum at...

Thanks just looked that up. By that reckoning if you take the same calculation for the gt at 2100 lbs and add the weight of passengers and luggage can’t be too far away
