#1 Official weight?

Not quite there yet, but will be ready for Danish MOT in a few weeks. Would like to get it done before salt and snow arrives...

Since it's the first time in EU (from the US), the MOT is also about its identity and all that. And it needs a weight in Danish system. Apparently it's not enough for Danish authorities that several similar cars are in the system already, so either I have to (on the same day!) get it weighed, which is quite far away, or produce official Jaguar data on the weight. Is the latter available somewhere I can print that both is and looks official?

Hej Mikael,

I am also from Denmark and 2 years ago I had the same problem with MOT. I simply took the Service Manual with me to the synsmand (MOT-man in Danish) and showed him page A.4 where it says 1123 KG dry weight.
