Allegedly according to my main dealers the 350 is supposedly superceded by the half kerb weight as set by construction and use 1986 as amended apparently. I am not convinced but legislation does normally trump recommendation. Oh and an email to vosa via dvsa meets with 'not our department' yet it would be a vosa road side check that would find you. Too much gray.

In the event of an accident it would more likely your insurance that might be the deciding factor as they would probably go by the importers figures.
How much does 4 sheep weigh on average, as a matter of interest,and of course the trailer??

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

Ultimately at the moment this is just research having not bought anything yet but it is definitely better to check it out and decide in advance than to bluster in regardless and find out the hard way.
