Yes definitely needed IFR to hit those left hand apexes.
It's a Modular 5.0 32V Cobra, although a big lump (see below) it's all aluminium so not any heavier than the Essex. Gearbox is a T45, probably no heavier than the Type 5.
Not weighed yet but although it has put on weight ie. bigger wheels, brakes etc., and independent rear suspension added 20kg but reduced unsprung weight by 40kg. I'm guessing around 1070kg.
Apologies for another non CC pic
...
Gerard, I think pic 3 is the front ARB, looking up the left arm, steering rack minus gaitor can be seen top right corner and sump. That's some serious brake cooling in pic 1.
