Looking for tare weight of 2-series... 200

I'm trying to find a definitive weight of a 2-series Volvo. Most of the web sites that I've looked at have either had a weight that was too light or quote vague "ranges" of weight.

The reason that I'm trying to find a weight is that the original weight of the "heaviest sedan variant" is used to determine the maximum engine capacity permitted where I am.

It's explained here:


In summary, heaviest sedan variant can be 2-door or 4-door but not a wagon. The weight is supposed to include all fluids at normal levels, 10 litres of fuel and no people or luggage. Standard equipment counts but options don't, so a GLE coming standard with power steering, A/C, etc. counts but not extras such as a towbar or sunroof.

To be allowed to put turbochargers on the 350 chev in my Volvo, I need to be able to show that the heaviest sedan variant weighed over 1434kg (3155lbs). Otherwise, I'll have to source a 327 crankshaft and rebuild the engine to the smaller capacity...

Any suggestions?
