What type of tool kit would mk1 austin coopers have had originally?
Jack? Wheel Brace? Tools?
And also does anyone have any pictures of originals or even know where I could get some to complete my 997 restoration?

I'm not certain that the jacks that were supplied looked like this type, but here it is from the parts book of the era

 

 

 

So in summery:- Jack, Wheel Brace, Spark Plug Tube Spanner, Podgy Bar and Tool Bag.

Just looking at a later listing it could be that the early cars may have had a jack similar to that shown above, the change point was C-A2S7-361399 for RHD Austin Cooper to the later side Jack that we are all familiar with.

Thanks:)
What year were the changes made? and do you have a picture of what the later jacks looked like?

You can see the 'later' jack here

no idea what year the change was made, but at a guess, it would have been fairly early on.
