Well I've finally bought a 404.  She is a 1967 Radio Body, rough around edges but from my limited knowledge seems mechanically sound.

I have not actually got her home yet, she is in Bristol and I am just north of Portsmouth.  Call me a chicken but I don't fancy 120 miles of motorway and A roads for my first real drive.

Does anyone happen to know the weight of a 404 radio body without any of the radio gear in?  My guestimates are right around the limit of a 7.5 tonne recovery truck.  Moving up to a 14 tonne truck increases the transport cost dramatically.

Cheers
