Hello, My question is whether the Ferrari 250 SWB "steel" came with the tool kit from new from factory, and if so, where and how can it be verified? Images, documents, etc. In BaT there is a tool kit but i am not sure if the SWB came from factory with the tool kit as an option, as standard, or nothing. Thanks! Nicolás.
Perhaps someone will correct me, but I think all Ferraris of that era came with factory supplied tool kits. As far as the kit currently listed on BaT is concerned, I would not use it as a reference for accuracy.
250 SWB came with the 250 GTE Owners manual. All outside plug 250 kits are the same TMK. @fiatosca--a diplomatic comment
Thank you everyone, Yes, the SWB came with the GTE Owners Manual and with a little difference where on the SWB mentioned the specs of the car but nothing on the Tool Kit. Anyway, thanks everyone and i will keep searching. Nicolás.
But that doesn´t really mean that SWB´s came with the tool kit. I need to confirm the fact that the SWB came with the tool kit or not...
if it came with an owners manual that depicts a tool kit, its probably a safe bet that a tool kit was included. back in those days there was only about 50 service centers world wide, so the factory wanted the owner to have the necessary tools to service the car.
A collector friend of mine purchased a GTO a number of years ago and I asked if the car had a toolkit? He replied that no, it was originally a works car and it wouldn't have been supplied with one. I don't know if that is true or if he was just being a wise guy? Possibly both
if it was a works car, it would have been supplied with a team of mechanics. when the factory sold it, then it became a customer car and possibly included a tool kit. really doesnt matter unless you show the car. no points deducted for having a tool kit.
don't know if this can help to find one or what will be in it ? https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/ve19/villa-erba/lots/n0009-ferrari-250-swb-tool-kit/776254
I would say mostly but not entirely correct. The plug wrench is 1970s vintage; can't see the pliers clearly; don't think the screwdrivers are correct; oil filter wrench looks bent; I'm always skeptical when I see a restored MR Riganti pole jack, it makes me wonder if it has been converted from a Maserati or Fiat spec to look like the correct item. A lot of phony stuff has been turning up in European auctions lately so be cautious.
