Thanks again, Owen.
On the Packard model info it says 6 passengers.... !
I am trying to make life easy for the authorities and have given them an example calculation for the overall weight after my judgement.
shipping weight: 3'770 lbs
6 passengers: 990 lbs
fuel (17 gallons) = 108 lbs
water (4.5 gallons) = 38 lbs
other liquids = 11 lbs
luggage allowance= 180 lbs
which sums up to soemthing like 5'100 lbs or 2'315 kgs
I guess that could be close to the truth
Speed: somebody earlier wrote also: ~100 mph
Together with your guess that should be something between 150 and 160 km/h
Regarding the German authorities so far:
1) With help of this website and the contained information as well as the comments from other users, it was a "piece of cake" to get the car acknowleged as "historically valuable" by the tax-authorities.
That means: instead of paying 14% customs plus 19% VAT, I only had to pay 7% customs !!!
2) With all the info from this website I have prepared a (nearly) complete data sheet for the car, which was already fully accepted. Just the above mentioned data are missing.
I will keep the Forum updated with the progress, so that others can also benefit from my experiences. For sure !
Cormorant still missing on the pic below (sent by separate mail just to make sure that it doesn't dissappear on the transport... :) ) It's there now and installed !
