Normally:
Kerbside weight is with all fluids i.e. oil, coolant, brake fluid,
windscreen washer fluid, airco fluid i.a. and a full tank of petrol but
no luggage and occupants.
Maximum permissable weight includes this plus occupants and luggage to
the max.
Emty car, no fluids, occupants, luggage or any other load.
However many countries use different definitions and/or regulations for
registration, so do check before what they actually mean.

I'm looking into buying a Frog eye sprite from Canada. I need advice on
transporting it from Manitoba to Portland, OR. Any recommendations on
companies and the process to get through customs. I have thought about a
road trip, but still to figure out customs. I have read the website, but it
does not make a lot of sense to me

The weight that is quoted by the factory is not real world. Put your BJ8 on
some scales. True weight is about 2,750 pounds.

Seems like:-
1. I was being thick
2. The difference in weight is the fuel etc
Simple when you think about it..just got to think.
Is there a maximum permitted all up weight?
I can't think what that would matter in Healey terms, but we're talking the
worst kind of Eurocratic form filling-twaddle mongers here. We may just have
to make something up. Two average adults. Two average kids. Some luggage.
(Skinny, sixties, people!)
Thanks to all, so far.
Simon

Simon,
for more help why not contact the AH Club in France
(http://www.club-healey.com/). In my experience French car clubs are more than
willing to help.

Well my friends there is a story unfolding in Portland Oregon on the Austin Healey front. Seems that my spies have found a frame in a powder coating shop. Shop workers have no idea what the frame belongs to but appears from Wikileaks sources that it is a 100 chassis. Looks like the new color may be a light green. More updates when they become available or someone on the list admits to this as there own workmanship.
Enjoy the rest of your day
