Tool kit NOS 280SL /8
« on: May 26, 2016, 16:13:26 »
OK, this kit was shown before (see topic http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=22237.0)
Now I have laid my grubby hands on it...
It is a rare find, from the shelf of a M-B parts dealer where it rested (forgotten?) until a couple of years ago.

A NOS item. Fun :)

Wow, Pristine condition.  Wood Handle Felo, probably came from a 68.

Great find.

This kit was never in a car and none of the items within has any trace of use (or seeing the light of day).
Tool roll was acquired by the parts dealer as a spare; but somehow it was never sold and stayed on the shelf...
The same fate was with a second tool kit, for a M-B Compact (W114); lying there in its plastic wrap.

1968 as you mention would indeed be the period (as discussed); 280SL print on wrap and wooden Felo handle.
