They made how many thousand MGBs over the years? And of those thousands, how many are still being used? And the jacks didn't change much over those years? So why is that everyone wants a mint for a j

If you ever come across a real MGB jack, immediately throw it away as far as possible! The MGB jack and it's evil brother, the jacking point, are the worst examples of mechanical design in the world

I drove a new 65MGB for 6 years when I was in college. I jacked it up many times with the factory jack. I never had a problem, but I now have a 66 MGB which I use the scissor jack I bought at PepBoys
