back in 1975 to 1981 VW made a compact scissor jack, about 4 inches X 6 inches base.

As above.  Honda jacks are readily available and good.  Don't let the junk yard over charge you.  No name and Harbor Freight scissor jacks are available for around $20 new.

Junkyards have Honda scissor jacks by the bushel.  I picked up mine for $10 including a handle.  Very happy with it.

Sorry Alex.  I should have specified stateside.  I won't be hunting for a jack in the UK.

Junk yard recycle is what I'm after.

I have a old Allegro one in the boot of Betty for emergencies - decent sized base and still has the Leyland sticker on it.

Looking for a used scissors jack in the breakers, wondering if anyone has a favorite.
