This car is a survivor and I intend to honor the past owner's restraint by not lavishing a complete restoration on the car, but to mechanically restore it and use it occasionally. I might just take you up on a translation. I'm going to dig up the registration forms and see if I can get them in a form to email them. Dr. E, My car is an exception and there are quite a few others I'm sure. Would it not be correct to then say, most SVs built BEFORE Sept. '57 are probably lightweights? I guess I'm being a little obstinate because I had posed this question to Elvira Ruocco and she simply told me ALL 56 and 57 SVs are lightweights. Best, Alan in Pasadena
