I'm aiming at 150kg if only because that's the weight of a couple of passengers so it seems well within the car's capabilities. The rolling chassis is about 50kg so I don't have much to spare. I am having to be obsessive about the weight of each component but not at the expense of the fittings, some of which are Austin 7, all of which are of that period.
I'm hoping to coachpaint it but don't have any experience. Craftmaster will be a useful supplier I assume.
I like the finish on the Pytchley Malcolm, unusual and appropriate. Thank you for the offer of fittings, I shall let you know when I get to the fitting out stage (it'll be a while) but at the moment I think I have everything except window catches. I have a couple of old, small draw bolts but would really like 4 the same.
The overall size is 7' 6" long by 4' wide and about 5' headroom. The design allows for a 6' x 4' bed or a seat and table. There will be a 9" wide worktop /kitchen in the curve at the front end.
Yes Ken , I'm familiar with the Argonette and have taken some inspiration from that, especially the Nissen-hut style dormer windows! Here it is; it is significantly bigger than mine:
