Factory Service Tools

To assist with maintenance and repair tasks, a large number of service tools were available to BMC service departments. The majority were manufactured by V L Churchill, and carried part numbers commencing '18G'... These tools are now quite collectable in their own right.

The following list details the tools originally specified for the Austin Healey 3000, and where available provides photos of the actual tools that I have collected.

If anyone has any original tools detailed in this list then I would be interested in purchasing them for my collection.
