Re: tr5 continental touring kit -Bloody 'elll
Am I missing summert? are there any individual parts like hens teeth? I would have thought £100 would have been enough.

Also says something (not sure what!) about Triumph's confidence in the cars reliability, with head gasket and valve springs in the kit!

Re: tr5 continental touring kit -Bloody 'elll
Back in the days (50s/60s) most manufacturers provides a 'continental touring kit'. This was when taking your car abroad was like taking it to the moon! I think there was a general distrust of foreign garages and their capabilities as well as getting spares, hence putting a kit of spares together.
I know that when my family went to France back in the 60s (when I was a mere whipper-snapper!) we took a Bedford (Vauxhall) Spares kit with us for the Bedford CA motor caravan we had. It was on sale/return so when we didn't use it, it went back to the garage. I bet it didn't cost >£1k though! Apart from bulbs, I don't think we ever used anything from the kits.
I don't think it said anything about the reliability of the vehicles, just about individuals confidence!
Cheers,
Mike.
