Shelley LJ225
Supplied in the toolkits of Austin Healey 3000 BT7, BN7 and BJ7 from about June 1960 to early BJ8 production (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 100-6 nor the 3000 Mk1.
It 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.
It is marked "SHELLEY LJ 225" on one side, CA265 DH Prov Pat" on the other side, and "CA259" cast into the top yoke. The handle was a 12" round bar and painted black. See "Original MGA" by Clausager page 34 and Anderson/Moment "Austin Healey Restoration Guide" page 133.

This broken LJ225, as supplied with the later MGA Deluxe, 1600, and 1600 Mark II from July of 1960 (car number 93548) to the end of production, generated a lot of interest on Ebay (USA). 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!

Shelley LJ225
Not sure what car used this version of the LJ225. 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.
