    I have this one, which I acquired as, allegedly, a 550 toolkit, as the one which came with my 550 was a bit scruffy, so when I sold it, I let it go with the scruffy one and kept this as a souvenir. It looks quite like the one in the diagram on Eurospares' website. Could this by any chance be a 575 kit, or are the 550 and 575 kits the same anyway?

    This Tool Kit is only for the 550, hence the old style fuses. Beautiful kit.

    That would be very kind, Taz.

    Mine was sort of brand new..my supplying dealer noticed the kit was missing in 2015 and ordered one from Ferrari, which arrived in 2016, and sat in my garage until Mr Lowlife swiped it.

    Thank you. No hurry. I just feel a Ferrari should have its toolkit. I'd buy it back from the lowlife but I haven't seen mine on the market. I can't imagine there's a huge market for stolen 575 toolkits. He didn't touch the original stereo head unit that was beside it. Or the OEM back boxes.

    There is also a difference in US/Non-US kits if I remember correctly, though I may be crossing wires again.

    Good to know you still have family connections to your old country of residence, Taz. My elder daughter has turned into a proper classic car nut, I must get two pictures a day of what she calls classics (for me they are just second hand cars). Maybe they will meet one day here.

    I just remembered that I photographed the car, and all its documents and its accessories, back in mid lockdown in 2020 when an Fchatter contacted me with interest to buy it. The chap never got back to me, which was a bit rude but actually his loss because I might just have sold it then at a moment of global panic, for a price I would never sell it for now. Aanyway, these are my pix of my old tool kit that was purloined. Was this the correct 575 kit I should be looking for?

    Darius- Sorry for the delay, but the Nikon's batteries were all dead. Took a while to recharge. Here is my kit. Looks about the same. Should be little to no difference between Euro/UK and US kits.
