Can anyone advise on a decent trolley jack please, my little Draper gave me the wobbles on Sunday especially having to raise the car an extra two inches for the stands. Price range and where to go would be helpful

Agree with Moggie! I have a similar one - there are basically two types (one with twin cylinder and one with single).
It is actually the only jack that is low enough to go under the F-Car. Handle is upholstered to avoid damage to doors etc. Pip-pins for quick disassembly to transport in boot. Carrying handles too. All in all expensive, but how often do you buy a jack?
They're not light, however, despite all that aluminium.
Got mine of the 'Bay just very slightly cheaper (about €190)

If you have a costco warehouse near you they do a great low clearance ,3 ton one for around £70 , ive been using one for a year now and i cant fault it. goes under the diff by miles
Heavy in weight though so no carting it in the back of worthers to shows.sigpicComment

why not buy an old one and restore it, give it a coat of that left over beige paint, a few new seals, and get it featured in "Trolleys restoration monthly"

what a great idea Graham, i know, put some period mods on it as well and end up not knowing what class to enter it into. 1. Standard Trolley pre 80 or 2.Modified Trolley pre 80, or of course end thinking why did i ever bother and just buy a Snap on jobby AKA 911t or something i got offered only today, 97P 355F1, 23k Silver/Nero, 33k. That would have saved me ???????????Originally posted by graham John View Postwhy not buy an old one and restore it, give it a coat of that left over beige paint, a few new seals, and get it featured in "Trolleys restoration monthly"
