I measured the Europa using pairs of ordinary bathroom scales (some quite old, most not too accurate) under each tire. It had my weight in sandbags in the driver seat, full water, oil, and with nearly full fuel tanks. I don't claim much accuracy, the last digit of pounds values implies more accuracy than is really present.
Ideal (and actual, within a few pounds) weight balance 8/4/2009, in pounds.
