r1lark Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I'll say #1, since that is around the weight of the Jag Mark II. (However, I think the Jag C-type race cars were significantly less in weight and I believe they used the Dunlop disc brakes even earlier.)

scottgriggs Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) I'll guess 3) 3800 lbs, which would be the early published curb weight of 3100 lbs plus 700 lbs for occupants, cargo, and gas. Edited January 24, 2019 by scottgriggs
