I'd have thought about the 1100KG area but on parkers:

It's down as 1029KG which seems more realistic

who knows, but a corsa is nowhere near 1250kg's unless you have fat mates and a boot full of stereo.
a nova is about 850kg's, average corsa ia about 100kg's heavier than a nova. maybe if you have an airbag model it might be a tonne.

A car will have 2 weights, a kerb weight, which is what it would weigh on a set of scales. and a design weight which is the maximum permissible weight of the axles which would include a full car with a trailer etc.
Just to throw a few figures around. My 206 GTi weighs 1120kg + or - 10kg (on a weigh bridge) and my kit car weighs 600kg.
these are the book figures for a Corsa GSi
Curb Weight MT (kg) 975
Curb Weight AT (kg) 1430
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
