Sold Rare Original Complete Ferrari 308/328 Tool Kit Roll

I hope for someone with a 328, as it is not correct for a 308...

 

Agree. There was no carb wrench.....at least for a carb car.

 

For the point of originality it is not correct for a 308. In the end it does not matter who it bought for what.

If you do your homework look up older threads, which will take all day to read, over 10 years run there are variants if you are into correctness.

 

a) the pliers should really have whote "Ferrari / Kravm" inscript; I have always had reservations about 328 tool rolls having pliers with black inscript, but a 308 toll roll should really have white inscript.
b) there is the matter of the auxiliary windows crank; some very late production 308 didn't have one, but most had the "T"bar type.
c) the brand of the wrenches is open to discussion; "Kravm" are not incorrect for a very late production 308QV, but "Utema" would have been more typical for a QV (and with a blue plastic sheathed pair of pliers) and with a two-pockets location for the pliers.

To sum it-up: not incorrect for a late production 308 QV (with the exception of the black inscript pliers, definitely out-of-sequence) but not typical either...

Well yes and no.....

This is a later kit, a early 308 would look quite different.

The "tell" is in the spark plug wrench, and the combo 14mm to spin it.
No worries, fair price and it looks mint.

Those are also what we would call "modern pliers" in the Vintage 308GTB World.

 

Correct all 308 tool kits had pliers with thin blue handles and NO Ferrari script.

 

1975 thru 1979 - North American cars would require the Carb Tool, and the plugs require the T Handle wrench
1980 thru 1983 - North American 308s are now injected, no carb tool and at some point the plugs change size.
1983 thru 1985 - The 308QV hits our shores and stiil as noted above has bare handled chrome pliers, or perhaps blue insulation.
1986 thru 1989 - 328s delete the window crank feature, it was a PITA anyway, the wrenches change brand, and the pliers turn orange.

That's the Cliff's Notes, and for some years Ferrari Classic Parts UK sold a "Universal Application" roll, and really IMO that's pretty much what you ran across.
That roll was around $325.00USD as I recall.

So you see that tossing in worldwide variations in engines and so forth, there's quite a few "flavors" of tool sets.

 

Early pliers had no insulation at all, chrome like in a Daytona tool set....

"Before I was careful" that pliers set ended up in my general tools, where I must have 8 pairs of "Electricians Pliers"...If I ever find them I will sell!!
Klein makes the best ones.

In that world the orange on the tools means 1000V insulation.
With Ferrari, it's simply decorative!!!

 

Even that square of adhesive residue on the roll cover suggests a Parts Control number on this set, from Ferrari UK,
That and the total lack of patina on the wrenches.

Even a 1989 set would be 3o years old at this point, and 'showing some wear" unless stored in a Bank Vault.

Which given current values is not a bad idea!
