My '85 300D came with the barely used tool kit.
The tool kit just had a series of similar sized pockets along the bottom
seam, which you fold over top and roll up.
Contents:
Lug wrench
Tube wrench
pliers
3-open end wrenches (11/13, 14/17, 17/19)
screwdriver with philips head only (maybe the flat head slid out under
the spare tire)
