I think this is what Oliver needs.
The permissible total weight (PTW) is the kerb weight of the vehicle + the allowable payload.
For these purposes you can reasonably assume the kerb weight is the weight of the car - unoccupied - with the fuel tank full, that is to say "in running order".
The "payload" according to Scarlet's excerpt is 30 - 32 stone = 190 - 203Kg. (I'd round that off to 200Kg).
So find or measure the kerb weight, add 200Kg and you have the PTW...
