Default Sometimes you get lucky - a good day!

So I went over to my local British Car shop to get a few grommets and got talking with the owner about British car tool kits and commonality in general across various British cars and Cobras.

So he says: "What do you need?"

Now I've seen his backroom full of vintage parts, and in he goes and comes out with a Shelley 12DL jack (rusty but in great shape) with the curved "saddle" top and the correct 2 piece jack handle and tommey bar. WOW.

Now it's not a Shelley LJ22, but I'm happy with a 12DL. And I rarely see the handle on e-bay.

Now to clean it up and find the right color grey paint.

Funny though, he does high end restorations on lot of British cars but he has never seen any ELORA spanners.
