How much does an A series with gearbox attached weigh? I need to get
quotes for shipping and all I have is my guess of about 200kg.

Anyone got a Haynes manual about that has it?

This source says 150kg, but that sounds low to me. On the other hand the
vehicle weights are pretty much right, sooo.....

I know the Aussie unexpurgated manual doesn'tgive a weight for the motor
and box.

Whatever the weight I just know the last time I lifted one I needed a sit
down for a while afterwards - and there I was thinking there'd be no need
for an engine hoist!

The Australian Morris 1100 manual gives the following weights:
Engine          254 lb. (115 kg)
Gearbox      69 lb.  (31 kg)
Engine and transmision assembly 339 lb. (154 kg)

Recently shipped a Mini-matic engine, it was around 170 kg. not sure
what the difference is in gearbox weight compared to a manual though.

I should have given the weight for the Auto from the book as well..

Engine and transmission assembly            357 lb. (162 kg)
Automatic transmission                            112 lb. (50.8 kg)

So the auto is about 20 kg heavier than the manual.

That sounds about right, the Minimatic is heavier than a standard Mini.
The epicyclic automatic gearbox has a lot less empty space inside it!
