Service Ramps for Elan S2

Which lower cost ramps will work with the Elan's ground clearance - I would like about 8-10 inches of lift if possible - not going to use them much so cost is a factor.

For a previous Lotus I bought some plastic caravan levelling ramps which were enough for some jobs and also allowed me to get a low profile trolley jack right under the car. I think they were made by Fiamma.
They only give a few inches lift though I’m afraid.

Long time ago I bought these at "Feu vert", very cheap. I think the offer was 20€ the pair ?
But the car pushes them away when you want to drive on, at least on smooth surfaces.
Solution is then to put use a jack to lift the car, place them and lower the car.
Quite stable, at least when wheel is located between crossbars.
Here - to change starter motor - I used some wood to give more clearance.
