Parkers Car Price website in Tech Specs agrees with you, 1560 to 1590 depending on spec Auto or Manual,Classic up to Connisseur SE. Hope this helps, I usually find this site to be accurate as they get their specs from manufacturers literature.

As kerbweights are specific to each car, NO database and NO manufacurer's literature will be anything more than a guideline. You can count yourself lucky that the difference between the figures that you quoted is only 55kg. In some cases the difference can be as much as 150kg.

Depending which of the above figures are used, the weight ratio will be between 85% and 88%. I guarantee that you won't be able to tell the difference when driving. Besides, actual kerbweights are invariably higher than any published figure so that will improve your weight ratio.
