What Car Is This Jack For?

This jack was in a box of MG parts I bought years ago. I mentioned it in another post and thought it was an MG jack. I never really looked at it until recently. It's different than any MG jack I've seen as it has a rectangular lifting bar. The part number looks like 128 BCC N1. The letter B could also be a 3, but I doubt it. Anyone have any clues?

Well I'll be! Thanks Doc. I guess it'll go back where it came from. At the present time there's no use for it around here. Hate to buy a car just to match the jack. Be like having a radiator cap from some exotic car and finding one to drive under it. He,he.

Could get awful expensive.

PS, What is an Alfa Romeo 1300 GT junior anyway? Hard top, rag top?

The Bertoni bodied Alfa GT with a 1300cc. GTa was the same design, outta aluminum, the GTV's were 1600, 1750 and finally 2000cc.

Check the silver Alfa in Sideache's post here inna Pub.

That jack looks to be the right one, I've a couple of 'em lyin' about inna shed. I don't believe Alfa changed that jack design for YEARS. It'd likely fit my Spider (if the sills weren't red iron lace /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif ) too.
 
Sorry Doc, GT juniors were steel bodys also, the GTA was alloy panels,altho the A did not stand for alloy but something else that I now forgot.

Doc, do you think it will fit this?

I might even move the "B" over to get this in the barn. You gotta love those Italian designers

HUH?!? I *didn't say* Juniors were alloy, nor did I say the "a" in GTa "stood" for anything. I've owned examples of the Junior, the 1600 and 1750's, wrenched on and driven GTa's. Dunno WHERE you figger there was some erroneous info in what I posted.

...by th' way: The "A" is for Allegerita. "Lightweight".

I ~didn't~ forget. We can further parse 105 series Alfas to divide Juniors, Guiletta GT's, Veloce's et al.
 
...there was a convertible made in limited numbers as well, with a 2600cc T/C SIX in it. THAT was a "WOW!" car.


BTW, Paul, that jack is missing the cover over the top where the crank attaches. It was a metal, inverted "U" shape.


May fit Fiats, too, but I never owned one of those, so can't say.
 
Oppps yup your right,misread your post. I get sleepy at this time of day. How bout giving me a half a point for saying bertone is the correct spelling.
 
done. With an "`".
 
Bertoné. Last of the "personally" done works. Giugiaro was a userper. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

...that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
 
I had to come into the "house" part of th' hovel to use extended ASCII to send "Bertoné"... RH9 don't recognise all the extended ASCII character codes.

...and it's 84°F here ATM. Bertoné had the © on the "drop-nose" or "step-nose" design.
 
Ummm... the fifty Grans Prix that marque achieved in less time than Il Commendatori (I'm back on the GPU) managed in nearly twice the time? That looks like the Wreck of the Hesperis. Likely had more to do with the owner than the designer.

I've a Sears "workmate"... izzat worth countin' coup on?

Oooh. How 'bout Mr. Rolls an' Mr. Royce as "workmates"?!?!
 
There is a great story that goes with this photo. Some other time tho,my eyes are blurry. Its my ex-buddys loti one of two.
 
The car appears to be an early S3 S/E. The wheel arches reveal some buggery, the badge "treatment" ain't original... DO tell. It was apparently heavily re-worked long before THAT image was taken.
 
For what it's worth, that is exactly like the jack for my Fiat X1/9 and I believe was also used for the 128 series.

Regards,
James

Thanks James. I'll put that on the tag along with Docs info. It is in good shape other than missing the cap over the gears.
 
BTW: The "Workmates" thing was well and truly hammered in a BCF thread a while back.
