1.4, 100bhp but with an induction kit and remap (I also have the original ECU). I believe 115bhp maybe.
Std weight is 1155kg according to Parkers, but they reckon it's less than a tonne.

Full cage inc door bars
Buckets
4 Point Harnesses
Sparco dished wheel
8 15" alloys with PS3s in various states - a couple are barely legal but most ok.
6 14" Compomotive MOs (in need of a refurb, but no matter) with random crappy tyres on.
21k on the clock.
Sump and tank guards, both removable. The sump guard has holes drilled in so it doesn't fill with water.
Gaz Gold adjustable suspension
Ferrodo DS3000 pads front on drilled Brembo discs, Mintex 1144 rear
Rally tripmeter thing and map light for the passenger.
Spots on the front are removable.

Sounds like great fun. I find that £500 sheds bounce much better off ditches also
