I recently acquired a 1959 / 60 Flaminia PF Coupe and have only just examined the tool kit that came with the car.
It looked as if it hadn't seen any use for 50 years so I gave it a clean up. I don't think that it's complete and I have some questions.
It has 2 bags. One with 2 straps and one with one strap. They are both made of synthetic material and have hardened ( but not brittle ) with age.
Neither has proper compartments so
1. Is 2 the correct quantity of bags ?
2. What tools go in what bag ?
3. The spanners are metric ( and marked Lancia ) , but the black one is Imperial and indicates 9/16 and 5/8 . Whats that used for ?
4. The one marked Lion looks like it's for opening a can of Pepsi ?
5. This one looks like a mini acro prop. It's not marked Lancia but any idea's what it's function is ?
Thanks in advance
Richard

Re: Lancia Toolkit questions
Many Thanks Lucas ,
Looks like I have acquired an extra bag which has just one strap. It must be a Lancia bag as it's made in exactly the same black synthetic material as the larger bag and has the same corrugated
handle detail as the larger bag. They both resemble a plastic coated linen ( which is grinning through in places ). Even if we preclude the jack and the pump, I would have thought that squeezing the
other tools in a single bag must be a very tight fit ?

Re: Lancia Toolkit questions
that beautifully made prop is actually the spare tire clamp. if you don't need it i'll be happy to take it off your hands!
if you look in the spare tire well you'll see a dimple where the rounded end fits in and the other squarish end fits on the rim of the spare and you turn the knurled disc to adjust the clamp.

Thanks for that !
I thought it was a bay pole jack for the window industry.
Does anyone else have 2 separate and matching Lancia toolkits ?
