The following are the weights of chassis of the more recent series. 2000 series. 3060 to 3090 lbs. 2100 & 2200 series. 3090 to 3115 " 2300 to 2600 series. 3100 to 3130 " 2700 series. 3200 " The two main points responsible for the increase of weight between 2600 and 2700 series are the fitting of Dunlop wire wheels, of which a set of 4 exceed the weight of standard wood wheels by 44 1/2 lbs, and the fitting of double rear brakes which make an additional weight of about 54 lbs. p.
