The car jack in my car is missing. Where can I find an original one ?

I doubt that the jack is a Excel only item, but, sorry I have no idea where Lotus sourced it from.
If it would help I can photograph mine so you, or anyone else, can try and identify it's origins.
For a secondhand one try Mike Taylor at LotusBits?

Assuming that the jack in the boot of my excel is original, it looks a lot like most scissor jacks except it has a lug to engage with the metal plates that used to be glued into the jacking points. Since these fell off years ago, I use a piece of laminate flooring between the jack head and jacking point. A 'universal' jack with a flat locating area might be better if the jacking plates are no longer present.
