I use this Sealey branded low entry jack.
Beautifully made and looks like a work of art, perhaps appropriate for an Aston Martin.
One snag though. If you use jacking point pads, the jack is slightly too high.
Need to first drive the car up on half inch timbers.

Another shout-out for the SGS low-profile jack. Brilliantly-engineered bit of kit and British-made too.

I ended up with the Draper 31481 Low Profile Quick Lift Trolley Jack, mainly due to the 500mm lifting height and 72mm minimum. It has a large flat lifting pad too.

I went for this one - nice and low and lifts quickly. The saddle isn't removable if that's important to you.
It's currently on offer too smile

Probably because Draper now source rather than make. But it can't be SGS because it's blue laugh. Draper own-brand by SGS? or reverse engineered in China?

I use a Weber WDK20 and it has no problem fitting under my V8 Vantage.
Cracking bit of kit, built like a tank and will probably outlive me.
Not cheap, but not silly money either.

Cheers Guys looks like the SGS is the one was really looking for a Sealey but it does not appear they have one low enough without having to raise the car slightly first.
