To be sold in the US they added pollution controls. Far as tools needed. You needed metric, SAE standard and if I recall some of the old british system whitworth.

See post #21. That was my TR6! And then there was the Triumph "cancer" rust bubbles that appeared all along the edges of the hood.
Also, back then my cousin had a Jaguar. He said you needed two--one to drive while the other one was in the shop.
