Less steel in the whole car. No inner fender in the quarter panels etc. I think they are like 2245 lbs. Have'nt weighed mine but I have a R200 and 5 speed with lighter wheels and tires so it's about that much I guess.

More emissions junk added in the later ones, stricter crash requirements in the later ones (starting in '74 mostly), and so on. The series 1 cars are about 200lbs lighter. The production dates are a topic of debate, do a bit of research on zhome and classiczcars and you should find plenty of reading material on all this and other topics such as the differences between the series 1 cars and the later ones.
