Could you let us know the complete weight
of 5-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-II in running condition ready for the road,
less passengers. This weight, I take it, you will have
to take and specify for transport purposes,

I should also be glad to hear from you, how this
car behaves during your run to London.
