MG ZS 180 Weight
 

I had to some metal to the reycling place and asked if I could put my car on the weight bridge and it came out at 1220KG. (Pretty light weight for a saloon!)

Is that accurate for a standard ZS 180 saloon?

Yes pretty much

Parkers lists the weight as 1285kg for a mk1 saloon and 1235kg for a mk2.

I always thought it was 1245kg

Close enough!

A stripped 180 must be near a tonne. So power to weight must be pretty close to 180/tonne?

I seem to remember Ross' (or someone similars maybe Quadcam) their stripped out one weighed in around 950ishkg I think!

That crazy light for such a big car!

my hatch is 1100, havent weighed my saloon yet. btcc car was 1050kgs i'll hopefully be getting my saloon down to 950kg

Mk2's will always be lighter than MK1's because there not quite built to the same quality from what i understand. The carpets for example are half as thick on a MK2. Theres also a bit more sound deadning material in the MK1. I can also confirm from experience the door handles and other pieces here and there are of a much better quality on a MK1.

And just for the record, i have a MK2

mmm time to get my stripped 180 on the weigh bridge
