<div dir="ltr" class="">The Standard-Triumph Continental Touring Kit was not, as some may first imagine who haven't heard of it before, a gaudy spare tire on the rear of the car. It was a collection of "essential" spares that one could take along on a trip
to the Continent away from the normal repair and parts network.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It was a fiberboard box that could be returned for credit if not used, or I guess part credit if one needed to use bits from it. There were various versions over time, and versions for different Standard-Triumph models. Here's an image of one
of them (not for a TR), with the box contents and relevant model noted on its label. The second image shows the contents list enlarged.</div>

I ran across an old Jan 55 Classified that lists a “Continental Kit “ as bits with the car. I seem to recall this was a collection of bits for traveling. I can’t seem to find reference to it in my early catalog files. There was a Continental Package in the
Competition and Rally Catalog for the TR3?????? any one know what this was?<br class="">
