<< Hi Guys
these slim spanners of yours ? are you certain that they are not Tappet
spanners? these tended to be slim, as you needed slim spanners to fit in
with the screw driver etc. & invarably were black.
If they are look after them I still have my fathers set locked away from
the kids & they are almost 19 years old.
Good question,but no,these are the ones that came with the cars as an owners-
set of servicing spanners,in a small red plastic pouch,blue on Continental
cars and both with a Triumph shield heat engraved into the pouch.
Even I haven't found a totally unmarked red pouch yet,but do have a blue one.
(Red one still required if there are any out there listening!)
While I've got you guys, have you heard of a 2L estate made in 62??
Ummm,do you mean the Triumph 2000 (Mk.1) Estate with 'bullnose' ?
or are you talking Vitesse Estates? if so,there were (about) 17 of those
assembled at the Western Avenue Standard-Triumph Service Depot,in
Brentford,west London from approximately 1966-68,and I believe they were
either Dark Blue or Valencia.
But not in 1962 AFAIK but I could be wrong?

Leon
