World-Wide Shelley Jack Database Part of my research into MGA originality included finding out about MGA jacks. This expanded into what is now the only known database world-wide of all Shelley car jacks. All information gratefully received. 53 different Shelley jacks now listed. Shelley Jacks updated 24 August 2010 with a picture of the MGA cranked jack handle, plus latest prices at auction in July and August 2010. ..................................................... 'The Motor' & 'Autocar' Database This database covers cars tested by both magazines between 1953 and 1975. It consists of 1053 cars. The database lists the summary performance of each car. I am also populating the spreadsheet with a thumbnail picture of each car. Just hover the mouse pointer over the vehicle name (only the cells with the red triangle in the corner have been upgraded with an image). Contact me for an electronic copy of any car road test. Reports are similar to those for the MGA opposite. Road Test Database - Excel Spreadsheet Updated 25 March 2010 Road Test Database - Web based Updated 03 January 2010
