...except for the screwdriver. The original kit came with a screwdriver from various sources, either 2-piece reversible (phillips/flat) from a few different manufacturers or the flat "bent wire" variety. I also have a kit that came with a phillips head that doesn't (or won't) reverse. Might just be stuck. Says "Made in England" on it so I assume it's correct.
Also, most of the kits I've seen come with a King Dick - type 6" adjustable spanner with no maker's marks. However, it appears that they also came with genuine King Dicks.
The last time I saw a kit like this on ebay it sold for around $270.00. Be interesting to see how high this one goes.
The case that mind came in was a rough type of leather, is this one ?
Called "Hessian" cloth in some circles. It can become delicate after 30 years or so. The two rolled up kits in Leafsprung's photo look like they are made of this cloth. Exmoor Trim in the UK makes a very nice (and accurate) reproduction, but from a much sturdier fabric that will far outlast the original.
Later kits in Series III's came with a vinyl roll (like the opened one in Leafsprung's photo), and at some point came with german-made spanners.
Amazing.
..a sense of humor. Most of his prior auctions have Mr Burro included in the pics. I enjoyed his description of this magazine he previously sold.

Im going to have to put mine up, I have all the extras pump jack etc. Ought to be able to get myself another rover with the proceeds.
A vendor at the British Invasion had one for sale at around $250 last year, and it had the "Hessian cloth" roll, not the vinyl holder. Many of the bits in the photographed one simply look too new in design to be original.
Given the road repairs I've had to do on mine over the past 18 years, I'm not so certain I'd like to rely on that drill handle for leverage compared to my socket sets .
