if it carries on like this pretty soon I'll be able to sell my old jack and rebuild the suspension on the proceeds !

I think I remember a jack, which was sold for around 500 Bucks. In my opinion this is rediculous :blowup:
But if someone really wants to have an original Lotus Europa jack he is going to pay that much.

Maybe it's expensive because there's a plug-spanner with it?

He may be asking a penny less than $400.00...it remains to be seen if he gets it :confused: . No bids so far.

Wow, that seems like a lot of money. Curious, though... this jack looks nothing like the one that I have with my 74 Special. Are there two styles available, or do I not have the correct jack (I thought it was original)
Seeing this price reminds me of the ash tray that was for sale for something like $300 a few weeks ago. Just last week I had the console out of my car, and during reinstallation I fumbled with the ash tray a bit to get it to fit back into place. I chuckled as I reminded myself that I had better not scratch it up, as it is a $300 dollar piece ::)

I look at it like this. If I didn't have a factory jack, I'd want one. And, they don't sell em' at Kragen. So there you have it.
I am working on doing Porsche 944 aluminum jacks for the cars. Need to fab up a plate for the lil' Lotus backbone. The goal is to be able to use it on all of them with a back bone chassis. Of course any scissor jack of that design will work but I like the lightness of the aluminum.
