I hope!?!

We have an old sprite musketeer, we think it's 1982, as the first part on the number of the plate says 82 as a guess.

The weight states 800kg, not sure if that is loaded weight (ie max) or the weight before you add anything (or min).

Funnily enough no hand books came with it as it only cost us £150, so couldn't ask for a lot lol!

Thanks in advance

Musketeer was one of the heavier inthe range so I'd guess 800k is unladen.

Aree there not two weight s given?

Dh has just gone and got the plate.....

Make - CI/Sprite

It doesn't say the unladen weight tho, so not sure how much stuff we can stow away in it!

Hi shezy, my van's 16ft 2berth, max laden weight is 900kg, and unladen weight is 724kg approx. gives me a pay load of 176kg, yours may be simmilar, only way to find out your unladen weight is as Rune says weight it, i would weight it with load, then take every thing out,as well as gas bottles,battery, re weight it and you will have your unladen weight, may cost you £10 for each weigh, I had to do this as i had mover and oven fitted reducing my pay load,then every item had to be weighed to keep weight at max or under it. hope this has helped.

If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
