How can I tell if my Highwayman is a 1500 or 2500 chassis?

Also, I've tried the search but not found an answer and the workshop manual doesn't seem to have the answer either: What is the kerb-weight of a 1972 Highwayman?

Cheers in advance!

According to the original specification it is based on the 2,000 chassis (didn't know such a chassis existed) and had a 'plated gross vehicle weight' of 2268kg.

Here's the link: http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb50/studiocommer/commer-cials/?action=view&current=CI_73_highwayman_03.jpg#!oZZ123QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs209.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb50%2Fstudiocommer%2Fcommer-cials%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DCI_73_specs.jpg%26

Hope this helps.

Cheers! So if the GVW is 2266kg am I right in thinking that using the 75% rule I could, in theory, tow something up to 1699kg? (In reality I'd only be looking at about half that weight).

Babs is only a 1500 - as discovered when looking at the chassis plate today. Unfotunately the max trailer weight was blank
 
Assuming Babs is an Autosleeper (sorry if she isn't) weight will be about 2090kg.

Yes, that's what she is and more or less coincides with what is on the chassis plate as gross vehicle weight. Still, it should be plenty enough to tow a small trailer and imp.
