    Suppose it really depends on how much ice they put decide to put around it. Could be a thin or a fairly thick coat.
    Anyone passing Covent Garden to take a picture!? :)

    At minimum the block will be 4225 x 1795 x 1673 (1mm each side for ice)
    Find the weight of that and minus the weight of the car should give a starting point

    That picture looks like an ice house with just one block for the wall
    so not technically 'frozen in'
