I am wondering what tools would have been provided with a MK1 Austin
Mini ('62 and '64) when they where new?

Does anybody have a list of tools, or an original toolkit? Any photos?
Anything?

It would be nice to work out if I have anything original and put
together a factory toolkit for my cars :-)

The factory "toolkit" consisted of a crude jack and and equally crude wheel
brace.

I have the jack and wheelbrace, but did it come with anything else? In
my 1966 Volkswagen that had a reversible screwdriver and several
spanners, etc in a tool roll.

Hi, No that was yer lot, except for the plastic bag that it came in, and
that did not last long before it split.
