MG MGA - MGA Shelley Jack On UK Ebay

For any of you with a late MGA, post chassis 93548, there is a Shelley Jack LJ225 with handle on UK Ebay: http://tinyurl.com/bveum8t

I have no vendor's interest in this, just alerting you all. Expect to pay between £100 - £200 ($150 - $300). They don't come up that often on Ebay. This will be the 17th in just over 4 years spread equally both sides of the pond. Competition is usually stiff as they were also supplied with many Healey 3000 variants.

Actually I don't know why I am telling you all this as I am thinking of bidding myself! I don't need it for my 58 car, just my collection.

Still 8 hours to go as I type. £77 at the moment. Looks like at least 3 bidders so should top £100 quite easily. Will tell you what it gets.

Nice jack, but not for the MGA. That is the later one with the reinforced collar around the handle hole. it was predominantly used by the big Healeys. It was not produced until after MGA production ceased.

I have just been sent a picture of another LJ225 as used by the MGA with the exception of the 'U' jacking point instead of the 'L'. Not sure what car used it, although Jaguar Shelley jacks were the same colour. Perhaps someone out there can tell me. Another one for the database.

It went for £155 ($240). Mid point of my estimate.

Thought I would mention that a Shelley A6 jack for the MG PA/PB, NA/NB, VA, TA and TB just sold for £395 ($600). There is money in some of these jacks.
