Fiat tool kit

Not sure if this would have been fitted to the 126, but it looks very similar, I imagine they were all the same around that time.

Check the pictures in the ebay ad linked in the "shame it's a leftie" thread, there's a set just like it there in the boot,

I've spend all my funds already this month so so can't bid  :( would be a nice set to have

It's the same as mine except my screwdriver is green.

My yellow Bis came with an identical toolkit as well, except the handle of the screwdriver is made of wood. My red one has one as well.

The early Fiat 500s had the same tool kit but wrapped in a cloth tool roll. The roll was replaced by the grey plastic box which I believe carried over to th 126s. Earlier spanners have Fiat cast on them, later ones just a symbol. Wood handle screwdrivers were replaced by plastic at some stage with the 126s. On both types the screwdriver blade is reversible to give a flat or a cross head option. The grey plastic box was replaced on later 126s  including the Bis by a plain but stronger black plastic box and the Bis had the addition of a black plastic tool which helped to locate the wheel bolts deep down in the wheel trims.
