I don't remember the car being weighed, but then I don't remember any reference list of standard weights being available.
The shipping companies did have a list of overall lengths to stop you declaring an unrealisticly short car (as they charged by length). Stood me in good stead when I found that the length of the Daimler SP250 quoted was without the optional front bumper which both the examples I used for holidays were fitted with.
