Vintage cars on 2 post lifts

[Reckless Rat]

I think most of the "advice" in the first post was just cobblers as long as the car is properly balanced there is no problem lifting an A7 on a two post lift. However... a 2 poster does have to have a sound base to mount the pillars. An 8" concrete slab is recommended. They are pretty cheap these days particularly if you can collect and fit yourself. I keep thinking about one, but someone else says no. If my bonds come up I would buy a moveable single pillar lift as it can be moved out of the way when not in use. A four post lift with runners is normally adjustable for the track of a small car such as an Austin. Not much use if you have a Reliant though!
