Well here it is my new (old) toy.
Holds 3.5tonnes, so the Lotus's shouldn't be an issue, even 2 at a time!!!!

Just need some transverse beams for the old S4 and 4 blocks for the M100. Yet to work out the Evora's jacking points!!!

You checked the height of the garage roof?

(I’m just envious!)

As for the S4, doesn't it have "external" jacking points like the M100?

No: there are no metal outriggers, just fibreglass box section with thick wire bracing. If I lifted it like an M100, I'd probably leave the whole chassis on the floor!!!!
John: Oh yes all thoroughly checked

I have 46" clear at max height of lift, which is also the approx height of the windscreen. But this is 3" too little to lower the lift..........so I mustn't raise it all the way

: it has to go up 3" before it descends.

So what goes up might not come down. Best invest in a very large sticker for the lift, or one of those Doromobile roof things for the garage, with a big pillow duct-taped to the inside of the garage roof.

Or just ring up the people who built the roof on Wimbledon’s Centre Court . . .
