[Tigers] Original Jack Color

	That is very interesting.   I know there were some differences but I
never paid that much attention.
Do you or anyone else on the list have descriptions of these differences and
possibly pictures?
It would be great to document this for everyone.

The vast majority of the jacks I have seen both Tiger and Alpine have been
black. There are several differences between early Alpine Jacks and later
Alpine Jack. The Tiger Jack is also different and specific to the Tiger but
not because of color. Patrick King.

    I just looked at my Rootes Part lists, tools section ZV:

Publication 6600992 Alpine parts list   part # 1201342  lifting jack
Publication 6601334 Tiger parts list    1201342 lifting jack    Up to
B9473324
                            5220473 lifting jack
>From B9473325

    This would seem to indicate that 1201342 is painted grey and 5220473 is
painted black.

I have a black jack in need of much TLC and I see no part number stamped
into the jack or any other identifying markings to indicate which jack it
is.

Norm indicates that some Tigers have a grey jack; here is his resent email.

We now know that several MK IAs and MK IIs were delivered with grey jacks.
No particular pattern has turned up, so one guesses it was tied to supply
issues.

Either color is correct so pick the color you like best.
