    My 246 doesn't have any books or tool kit and I know it's unlikely that I'd be able to buy original sets so my question is, does anyone know if there are any reproduction accessories that I could buy? Any information would be appreciated.

    1st off. Real is available. It's just price prohibitive. But if you have $10K+ you're willing to invest, we can point you in the right direction.

    Manuals can be had (repro mar-parts versions) for not much money, and there's a guy on ebay who sells repro pouches for books and tools. He's on there pretty regularly and I think wspeer here has bought some of his stuff.

    There's a guy who sels the mar parts books. Carreaper knows who it is, maybe PM him.

    There's a couple of sources for decent, although not concours correct tools. Superformance.co.uk has them, and La Scuderia Rossa (Tom S. de-twitch on that) has something too. Superformance also has a nice repro book pouch.

    Good hunting.

    ebay is the easiest, however, almost all of the repro's i have seen are not going to be passed off for originals.

    Agreed, the key fob looks like a repro, the books are not complete and I don't see the hole that the chocks normally have in the center.

    Am I out of touch or does this look like this set is twice the price that it should be?

    1 stop shopping, agreed,
    especially as we near the summer activities.

    BTW, the pouch with the rounded corners is for a 1972, but I thought the green authorized service agents (numbered/dated 67/72) would be correct not the blue one.

    What is the factory number/date of the blue one?

    PS - for that price, I'd imagine the Chassis abstract and the Consumer Information should be included.

    the blue is the warranty card. the red book is the 1973 dealers directory

    So he is also missing the authorized service agents book.
