Today I had to get my better (but still rusty) early 244 bonnet out for the body man to give me a price to repair, so rested on my bathroom scales. It weighed in at 2 stone 12 lb, ie 40 lb.
However, I've also got a much later 240 bonnet out ready for someone else to get a courier to collect: that weighs a massive 4 stone 12 lb, ie 68 lb. I thought my scales were lying (after all, they are as old as I am), but the later cars are several inches longer, so considered that acceptable.
I haven't got a clue as to what they weigh in rubbish French measurements as I aint French and have no intentions of being so - sorry! Being an engineer on American aircraft and helicopters, metric is a dirty word! Before you ask, my courier company can convert to whatever they want easily, but they go on dimensions based on standard pallet sizes - and a bonnet is too big for them.
Hope this helps.
