£760!!

Considering that the spanners, pliers and adjustable are on Ebay all the time for a few pounds, the screwdriver and the hub cap extractor look incorrect, that means someone paid a lot of money for a plastic roll, a tiny screwdriver, a socket and a wrench.

I could be wrong but that how it looks to me. I am

I can't believe it, but the proof is there.

My tool kit for my car was pieced together over several years and the difficult parts to find are the spark plug socket, socket bar and the roll itself. When they do appear on Ebay you will have to spend many hundreds of $$$$. Someone in Australia was selling replicas of the tool roll, socket and bar for much cheaper than original several years ago. Overall, they looked good with the tool roll missing the edge stamping. It would have made it very expensive to reproduce from what I was told.

I think C.A.T. do the socket and wrench.
Don't know about the funny little screwdriver and the bigger one.
I don't know if anyone does the rolll itself.

There used to be some reproductions getting about. Not sure if they're still around though.

Been meaning to take a look at the Parts List and here's the 'Tools' page:

This copy of the Parts List misses the big MKII spanner though and as said by a previous poster the grease gun is not a regular tool roll item. Need a concours judge here!!

From what I've read on here so far, and on SAOC, this looks an earlier type valve tool;

Hey Listen Up....

As i know iv'e been told all across the globe that the "Humble" Alpine isn't anything to do with the "Mighty" Tiger it may just creep under the radar that the Tool Kit's are exactly THE SAME...........

No Alpine ? NO Tiger

Now, Now, I bet the Tiger one is more expensive to buy though, Oh and don't tell anyone but MKII head light rims came from another car but if advertised as Tiger I bet they're more expensive too.

"No Alpine ? NO Tiger"

No 1965 Mustang? NO 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350. No AC Ace? NO Shelby Cobra..... You could go on and on, at least with the American collector car market. I'm sure there must be examples in the UK collector car market. Please clarify what point you are trying to make, if any.
