BTW: Norm sent an interesting picture of a lifting jack that was painted
grey. it was positioned at the rear of a Tiger slid into a lifting point.
That actually wasn't the oddest thing: the lifting handle/lug wrench was
of a normal design but REALLY BIG. I don't know it the one in the photo
would clip onto a Tiger's trunk floor.
Any comments out there?

Good question. TBON states Tiger jack was painted black except for
the South African cars. The standard Alpine jack was painted gray. The
jack I pulled out of a Series IV Alpine was painted black so not sure color
is a good standard for ID.
Sunbeamalpine.org has some information.
Here is what I pulled from them.
Lifting jack- 5220473 (grey paint)
For SV's B395000596 and after. 19" Shelley - Made in England
Lifting jack - 1201342 (black paint)
For all Alpines up to B395000595. 20" Shelley - Made in England

Hello,
I've owned my Mk1A since spring of 1976. When I got it, it came with a
black jack with appropriate small label that was clearly a Rootes jack; it
fit
the square body tubes and worked.
Years ago, in the late 1980s, I visited a junk yard in Berkeley CA. There
was a low-fin Alpine, and I bought the jack it had in its trunk and
brought
it home to Massachusetts.
After recently deciding to refresh/restore my trunk, I started to think
about the two jacks. They are almost identical except for difference in
length. My original (?) jack is about 1.5" longer. Yesterday I looked up in
both
the Alpine and Tiger "TOOLS" sections of their respective parts catalogs.
The Tiger Parts catalog contained Mk1-Mk2. Here is what I found:
Alpine: part number
up to B395000595 uses 1201342
from B395000566 uses 5520473
Tiger:
up to B9473324 1201342
from B9473325 5520473
The Question: Am I correct in the assumption that the shorter (earlier)
jack is # 1201342 and the
longer (later) jack is # 5520473 ???
Thanks in advance,
Jim Armstrong
