With gold as heavy as it is, I wonder how much lighter the McLaren F1 would have been if the engine bay hadn't been lined with the stuff

With Gordon Murrays weight obsession I should think you are right - but it is still interesting thought about using such a heavy material.

In Kelly's Heroes (one of my favourite films! ) they're slinging those boxes around. I reckon there's about 16 bars in each. By
David's figures (and assuming ingot size is the same) that's 178KG each box!

The one in the BoE is remarkably small - pretty much like the ones they always show in films (about 30cm x 10cm x 5cm - but that's a guess, so
don't get your calculator out Mr G!).
