In my far younger days I had the great good fortune to own a Morris Mini - the original doghouse, not the modern pastiche. That car did weigh 600 kg, and I happen to know for a fact that six men could easily pick it up and carry it a distance. I also know that it had a length of very close to 3 meters, and that the basement ramp where those six men put it was 3.10 meters wide.
As they said when they fetched me, "You may wish to grab something to drink".
- ptaipale 7y agoMany of us have done that to people like teachers who owned a Fiat 600 or 127.
- interfixus 7y agoYou may be thinking of the Fiat 126, sort of an updated 600. The 127 was a somewhat heftier hatchback, more like a VW Polo or Ford Fiesta.
- ptaipale 7y agoIt surely was 127 - heftier, but still definitely hand-movable by a half a dozen of adolescents... Fiat 127 is front-wheel-drive and bigger than Fiat 600, but still weighs under 700 kg.
