1931 SV Minor weight !
How good is your Imperial weight conversion ?
According to Autocar report of October 31st 1930 the weight is....
11 cwt 0 qr 5 lbs [ ie 1237 lbs or 561.6 kg ]
Interesting !!

According to the OHC Minor Salesman's Manual, the OHC 2-seater (i.e. the Semi-sports) weighed 11 cwt. 2 qtr., so slightly heavier, which is what I would expect, as the ash frame is heavier, and probably the engine as well. The tourer was quoted as the same weight, the fabric saloon was 11 cwt. 3 qtr., and the coachbuilt saloon was naturally the heaviest at 12 cwt. 1 qtr.
