I cannot judge on the asking price so do not blow me out of the water in case the vendor (not being me) is asking OTT
PS: the Duckhams oil can can be bought new for about £ 25 ish at vintagecarparts.co.uk
'Austin' spanners are fairly easily and cheaply picked up at your average autojumble, and I've never personally found them terribly useful. Nice if you want something to display.
Agreed on that one Chris. I've just collected a set of "original" Austin tools for show and the Austin spanners are too thick! But I've also just found a "Bedford Vanadium" open ended spanner that was missing from my set. These are invaluable as each spanner has one end the same as the next in the set. Means that you have two spanners for each nut size and can always undo nuts and bolts without resorting to holding one end with a pair of Molegrips! They are also quite thin.
