Now, this is all GOO's fault. He showed me his car lift when I visited and it kept rolling around in my head and then....bloody Ebay intervened! Although, I think I got it cheap.
I have been casually looking for ages but I am not that impressed with many of the new offerings that hail from China.
Eventually I saw this one. European made and with a hydraulic tilt function too!

This is my (second) donor. Once this is done with I will transfer the lift to the Marlin. Here it is lifted and nearly fully tilted
One of the other reasons that I really liked this one is that the moving part of the scissors moves in a metal channel, not on the ground itself. Thus it has a frame which will enable me to mount the whole thing on heavy duty wheels (only for the Marlin build, Not general use).
Happy new year to one and all! John
