Need close-up photos to be sure, but at a guess:

Britool late-50’s Morris minor
Britool 13H449 ‘59-62 mini mk1
Tangye-Shelley [Rollalift] 13H838, ‘62-69 mini mk1 & mk2
Metallifacture CHM64, mid-60’s on, more common on ‘67+ mini mk2 & mk3

The bottom two were interchanged as alternative sources during mk1 production, the Metallifacture becoming more common from mk2 onwards until introduction of the scissor Jack in mid 1970’s.

Both the A frame jacks are Morris Minor. The fitting is wrong for a Mini one.

Wrong willys Mark :lol:
Thanks folks.
Just found a Metallifacture one with a ratchet. Thought it was off an E-type when I read the blurb :roll: and just planning my next holiday on the proceeds.
God how many did they use???

This was still being used with the 1071, at least until June 63

Mark is right, second one down is not mini - has the wrong size willy.

Could also be for an MG rather than Minor, as it points up not down.

Ooer-missus.
