Shelley Jacks
This page is all about Shelley
Jacks, not just for the MGA, but for any vehicle that used one. Many of the photos and comments have been
gleaned from Ebay and other sites. I would be pleased to add photos and
comments from anyone who has information on these jacks.
Please note that this information is accurate to the best of my knowledge, but I make no claims about authority on this subject. Use your own discretion when evaluating the accuracy of the information.
It seems that Shelley changed their product marking during the 1950s from 'DL' to 'LJ'. For some jacks this occurred in 1951/1952, but with others such as the 12DL the changeover to the LJ22 was as late as 1957.
The values are normally taken from auction sites world-wide, but exclude postage.
See here for how a jack in average condition can easily be brought back to life. Jack refurbishment
I am planning on adding detailed information on the various types of Shelley jack handles and which jacks had which type. If you have any photos and information please contact me.

The jack has "6 INCH", "DL" and "Shelley" cast into the main body. The handle socket is 3/4 " square. It is factory correct for the MGTC, MGTD, MGTF and Austin Healey 100-4 BN1. It comes in at least 2 versions, one with the saddle jacking point (first 2 photos) and the other with the 'L' jacking point.

Shelley
M8 The jack measures 6.5 inches retracted and 11 inches extended. It is a single screw lift. Supplied with the Morris 8 up to and including Chassis Number 61351 (but excluding 59457-61000). It may also have been supplied with the early 30s Minors.

Shelley 7DL The jack measures 6.5" retracted and 14.5" extended. It has either an L-shaped or saddle jacking point, rectangular base with rounded corners and a 1/2" square handle socket. The 7DL was supplied with the Morris 8 from Chassis Number 59457-61000 and also 61352 onwards, fitting most series 1 and all series 2. The jack with the L-shaped jacking point may have been supplied with the AC Ace and Acceca (unconfirmed) but was definitely never part of the AC Cobra toolkit (see LJ22). Indeed, the L-shape jacking point will not fit the AC Cobra. The L-shaped version was re-badged in the early 1950s (probably around 1952) as the LJ21 and supplied with the Austin Healey 100-4 BN2, the 100/6 and early 3000s. I have no information on the jack with the saddle jacking point. The jack is also claimed by an Ebay seller to be an original item on early Land Rover Series 1, Series 2 and Willys Jeeps (see also LJ263). Year Dates Noted: 1936, 1937, 1938, 1946, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1958, 1960 Value: £21.50 paid on UK Ebay 24 August 2008 £16.25 paid on UK Ebay 19 November 2008 £14.99 paid on UK Ebay 18 December 2008 £16.00 paid on UK Ebay 9 February 2009 £150.00 paid on UK Ebay 26 February 2009 £11.99 paid on UK Ebay 8 May 2009 £9.99 paid on UK Ebay 8 May 2009 £31.00 paid on UK Ebay 11 August 2009 £5.00 paid on UK Ebay 6 October 2009 £14.99 paid on UK Ebay 19 October 2009 £19.99 paid on UK Ebay 20 December 2009 £37.00 paid on UK Ebay 29 December 2009 £23.85 paid on UK Ebay 08 March 2010 £5.00 paid on UK Ebay 28 March 2010 £40.99 paid on USA Ebay 8 April 2010 £11.58 paid on USA Ebay 26 April 2010 £12.94 paid on USA Ebay 28 April 2010 £34.76 paid on UK Ebay 30 April 2010 £32.00 paid on UK Ebay 8 May 2010 £39.44 paid on UK Ebay 14 June 2010 £23.00 paid on UK Ebay 28 June 2010 £32.21 paid on UK Ebay 07 July 2010 £40.75 paid on UK Ebay 24 July 2010 £21.50 paid on UK Ebay 20 August 2010 £4.95 paid on UK Ebay 30 August 2010 £46.63 paid on USA Ebay 8 September 2010 £3.76 paid on UK Ebay 26 September 2010 £8.20 paid on UK Ebay 03 October 2010 £13.01 paid on UK Ebay 19 October 2010 £4.99 paid on UK Ebay 15 November 2010 £75.00 paid on USA Ebay 11 January 2011 £41.00 paid on UK Ebay 28 March 2011 £43.18 paid on US Ebay 21 April 2011 £16.25 paid on UK Ebay 12 June 2011 £5.55 paid on UK Ebay 24 September 2011 £10.00 paid on UK Ebay 9 October 2011 £5.50 paid on UK Ebay 18 December 2011 £44.87 paid on UK Ebay 18 December 2011 £14.99 paid on UK Ebay 29 January 2012 £14.27 paid on UK Ebay 29 January 2012 £9.99 paid on UK Ebay 18 February 2012 £16.39 paid on USA Ebay 13 March 2012 £12.76 paid on UK Ebay 28 March 2012 £21.30 paid on UK Ebay 15 April 2012

Shelley 10DL The jack measures 6.5 inches retracted and 13.75 inches extended. It is the correct jack for the Austin 7, also the Ruby and other low Chassis Austin 7 cars.

Shelley 12DL
The jack comes with either an L-shaped, saddle or flat jacking point. The 'L' jack was supplied with the Austin 10. It measures 5.5 inches closed and 11.75 inches extended. It is possible that a small number of this jack may have been supplied with early AC Cobras. However, other research suggests that all Cobras were supplied with the LJ22 which is a relabelled 12DL. (LJ22 information courtesy of Eara Merritt). The jack was rebadged as the LJ22 in the 1950s, around 1957. Year Dates Noted: 1936, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957 Value: £32.00 paid on UK Ebay 21 November 2008 £266.00 on US Ebay 15 December 2008 £41.05 paid on UK Ebay 23 February 2009 £20.87 paid on UK Ebay 6 March 2009 £26.82 paid on UK Ebay 8 May 2009 £62.27 paid on UK Ebay 21 October 2009 £21.00 paid on UK Ebay 26 October 2009 £28.52 paid on UK Ebay 25 January 2010 £45.96 paid on USA Ebay 02 February 2010 £23.01 paid on UK Ebay 28 February 2010 £19.99 paid on UK Ebay 2 May 2010 £52.00 paid on UK Ebay 18 June 2010 £18.00 paid on UK Ebay 12 September 2010 £16.01 paid on UK Ebay 12 September 2010 £8.51 paid on UK Ebay 26 September 2010 £558.12 paid on USA Ebay 17 October 2010 (I think someone paid over the odds!!) £28.78 paid on UK Ebay 28 November 2010 £5.99 paid on UK Ebay 11 December 2010 £36.97 paid on UK Ebay 10 February 2011 £21.57 paid on Aus Ebay 18 February 2011 £19.99 paid on UK Ebay 18 April 2011 £27.00 paid on UK Ebay 1 May 2011 £34.00 paid on UK Ebay 8 June 2011 £36.99 paid on UK Ebay 13 June 2011 £17.99 paid on UK Ebay 9 July 2011 £16.00 paid on UK Ebay 15 August 2011 £60.00 paid on UK Ebay 28 August 2011 £5.50 paid on UK Ebay 13 October 2011 £28.00 paid on UK Ebay 15 January 2012 £89.00 paid on UK Ebay 29 January 2012 £82.00 paid on UK Ebay 5 February 2012 £34.88 paid on UK Ebay 15 February 2012 £33.62 paid on Australia Ebay 18 March 2012 £33.57 paid on UK Ebay 24 March 2012 £83.00 paid on UK Ebay 15 April 2012 £17.89 paid on UK Ebay 16 April 2012

Shelley LJ22 The jack has either an L-shaped or saddle jacking point. The two photos with the saddle jacking point are an original unrestored LJ22 and a restored 12DL jack, both from 289 AC Cobras . The 12DL is in plentiful supply and identical to the LJ22 in appearance, except for the numbers. The LJ22 variant with the saddle jacking point was the only Shelley jack to be supplied with the AC Cobra. The saddle jacking point fits the Cobra tubular chassis, whereas the L-shaped jack will not. Note the small crossbar hole showing on the unrestored LJ22 jack handle. The 12DL handle will have a broomstick size crossbar hole. (This data is gleaned from research into original unrestored Cobras, including both the 289 and 427. The photos and the data were supplied by Eara Merritt.) Year Dates Noted:

Shelley LJ225 The Shelley LJ225 was supplied in numerous variations and appears to cause confusion with restorers. This version was supplied in the toolkits of Austin Healey 3000 BT7, BN7 and BJ7 twin carburettor cars and through to the tri-carburettor cars from about June 1960 to early BJ8 production. The the change point to a similar jack with reinforced yoke is not known for certain, but claimed by one Ebay seller to be 1965. The LJ225 was never supplied with the Healey 100-6 nor the 3000 Mk1 - see LJ21. This version was also supplied in the toolkit of MGA Deluxe, 1600, and 1600 Mark II from July of 1960 (car number 93548) to the end of production. Recent information (August 2011) suggests that this jack may also have been supplied with Mini Pick-ups and Minivans. Confirmatory information required. It is marked "SHELLEY LJ 225" on one side, CA265 DH Prov Pat" on the other side, and "CA259" cast into the top yoke. There is some difference of opinion about the handle supplied with this jack. The "Original MGA" by Clausager page 34 and Anderson/ Moment "Austin Healey Restoration Guide" page 133 say the handle was a 12" round bar and painted black. Barney Gaylord notes on his MGA site that the handle was 13" long to a 45 degree bend, then another 1.5" of bar.

Shelley LJ225 This broken jack (same version as above), generated a lot of interest on USA Ebay. The photo demonstrates the yoke weakness and why it was subsequently modified with a strengthening collar as shown below. As the seller described, this jack needs restoration! Year Dates Noted:

Shelley LJ225 This LJ225 has the reinforcing collar around the jack handle hole as mentioned in the narrative 2 above. It carries the serial CA311 on the yoke. The jack handle is 18 inches long and 1/2 inch diameter. According to the Austin-Healey Concours Originality Guide, it is appropriate for all 3000 Mark III (series BJ8). There is no data to support this version ever being supplied with the MGA 1600. The first 2 photographs were supplied by Healey owner John McElrath. The jack shows its original paint, being unrestored. Dave Breneman supplied the 3rd photo showing the original box, carrying the part number AHH 5986. Year Dates Noted:

Shelley LJ225 This LJ225 version is the only Shelley jack variant that was supplied with the E-Type Jaguar. It is marked LJ22501 and was always painted grey as shown in the photo. It is a 3 stage screw jack, unlike all other LJ225 variants which are 2-stage. It also has the strengthening gusset between the ratchet pin and the handle hole. This jack was supplied with the first 4972 E-Types as follows:- Right Hand Drive OTS: 850001 to 850548. Left Hand Drive OTS: 875001 to 877518. Right hand Drive FHC: 860001 to 860660. Left Hand Drive FHC: 885001 to 886246. After that all E-Types were supplied with a scissor jack made by METALLIFACTURE. For completeness, a picture is shown here.

Shelley LJ225 This Shelley LJ225 Jack appears to be an adaption of the CA311 version (2 above) to suit an E-Type Jaguar. No E-Type was ever issued with this version. As can be seen in the photo there are traces of red paint under the grey, also suggesting it is an altered jack. Photo courtesy Ivan Ruiz . Year Dates Noted:

Shelley LJ225 Not sure what car used this LJ225 version. An Austin Healey concours expert advises me that It was not supplied with the big Austin Healey. Also, MGA experts say it was not supplied with the MGA. This version will not fit under either car with a deflated tyre due to the excess height of the extension when fully retracted, as shown in the photo. It does not have a serial number on the yoke. This jack continues to achieve good prices on Ebay, probably through mistaken identity and incorrect advertising.
