I defer to Ronnie Spain who puts the MK1 at 2000. I think you're looking at a MK1 wet weight of 2438 and that's with 40 gallons of fuel @ 8lbs per. or 320 lbs. So that puts it a 2120 with no fuel, so 2000 might be no oils or coolant.

My car weighs 2170lbs. with 3 gallons of fuel and full oils and coolant.
