Design weights I used on the application form were Axle 1 = 475KG, Axle 2 = 629KG, Axle 3 N/A and Gross weight 1104KG.
That seems a high figure, especially for a twink. I thought that V6 engined Hawks were coming in at about 900 - 950kg.
If this is off beam for this thread, tell me & I'll delete the post!

Chris,
Design weights look to be analogous to GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) here in the 'States. These have to add up to the gross vehicle weight, which is supposed to be the kerb weight of the car fully fueled, plus passengers, plus the rated cargo capacity.
If you have a car that weighs 900 kg, and you add 100 kg for each passenger (I think its 250 pounds per person in the US), and assume another 50 kg (for arguments sake) in luggage, the Gross wieght would be 1150 kg.
I have no idea how much you can safely put in the boot of a Stratos. Maybe it's more than 50kg.
