    I want to buy, in second hand, the followed tool but I don't know the right name in English.... And I want to check for it in England (low cost).

    It is a frame on which you fit the damaged car. You can take all the bodyshell mesurment and pull on the bent bodyshell to adjust it at the right dimensions.
    In french, it is called ' marbre de carrosserie'.

    Thanks to all

    You may look at:

    'Frame machine'

    'Chassis jig'

    Also adding the word 'alignment' or 'dimension' to either one of the above would help.

    You want to buy in the UK, right? If so then bear in mind that in British (correct ;)) English nobody uses "frame" in connection to a vehicle monocoque, they call it a chassis, therefore you'll have more success with the phrases such as "chassis alignment jig" and so forth.

    For example, I typed "chassis alignment jig" into ebay uk and got:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHIEF-JIG-EZ25-COMPUTERISED-LASER-CHASSIS-SQUARING-AND-ALIGNMENT-JIG-DOZER-/320826810421?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ab2c4a035

    ebay uk is definately a good place to find the 2nd hand gear you're looking for.
