It depends what you mean by bare body, but my estimates would be

Shell without glass : about 240 lbs / 110 kgs

Frames : about 35 lbs / 15 kgs

Bonnet : about 150 lbs / 70 kgs

A couple of weeks ago I attempted to load a 2+2 bare shell onto a trailer. When I say bare, I mean no, zero, nada floors, tunnel or rear bulkhead and half a front bulkhead. No doors or hatch or glass of course. As someone who can carry overdrive gearboxes and differentials with relative ease, I would guess my 'upper shell' weighs a couple of hundred. The 2+2 is heavier than FHC but not that much and yours is a 2+2 being V12, so I'd guess nearer 350 for shipping, depending how/if it's crated.
