Back on thread I suspect MMC are aiming for the "new" customer base millennials that will always get a man/woman in and never get their hands dirty. No that was us, the Aero owners. we could not risk damaging our nail polish.  or laddering our stockings!

Speak for yourself, Alistair, but the problem I have is the Aero wheels and tyres are so heavy and large I can't lift the things. I's an age thing, I suspect.

Apologies if this was covered and I missed it, but I was having a good look at a MY22 Plus Four and there was a jack supplied with the car. Said CX was only just delivered to the retailer and in the foot well was the tyre repair/tool pouch and a second pouch that contained a scissor jack. Interestingly the pouch for the jack and a lovely Morgan logo stitched into it. So it seems MMC have been listening. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/04/04/IMG_1654.md.jpg)

I collected my MY22 Plus Four from Krazy Horse on 3rd September 2021 and it came with both those pouches/items. Apparently you only get the jack if you take the spare wheel option.

Can you give me the dimensions of the jack in the closed position? I wasn't lucky enough to get one on my plus four. I will surely find one on a production car.
I will tell you on which car they are delivered.

I only took a passing glance at the jack and it appeared to be a normal slim scissor jack. Hopefully JJR can confirm. It is a normal scissor jack with a rubber block bearing a Morgan logo that should be glued to the face that goes against the jacking point. My rubber block was loose in the case. But it is a handmade quality product of course. I wonder if they are all like that. I am on holiday in the Lakes at the moment sadly not in the Morgan. I will measure the jack at the weekend and post the info. Best regards, John

Whilst mine is a 4/4 not a Plus Four. The scissor jack that came with it is virtually impossible to use. Basically it is too small & the thread too coarse. Suggest you try yours out before having to for real.

By nature of design all scissor jack's are at lowest mechanical advantage when operated from collapsed. Thoroughly grease threads and confirm you can use it in an emergency. Had to use mine whilst on holiday and jacking car on gravel but it did work, just
