I'm glad to see that someone offers 914 tool kits. In this case, AA offers them. They have one for 70-72:

And 73-76:

Mine is an early 73 (662). A different source shows the following for early 73:

http://www.p914.com/p914_tools_kit-73_early.htm

The latter includes a towing eye, hubcap removal tool, and spark plug tool. AA's kit doesn't have this, though the towing eye is sold separately. Although this site says that not all early cars had the white screwdriver handle, the shape in the pic appears like the AA 70-72 kit. So I'm left wondering, which is accurate? My car only has the tommy bar and lug wrench.

The AA screwdriver is from a rabbit/golf.

I also think the thin extension plug socket and small bar on the early kits (P914 link) are /6 only items.

screwdriver with our kit is an original factory part, we have always seen the jack bar with the original tool bag. 72 is more comprehensive than the later ones in the black plastic bag. We still have one factory original boxed 72 tool kit that we compare ours too and the mach is really too close to call. Tow eye was never part of the original kit, except in the sixes. We are currently examining the reproduction of the tow eye

Really? The first '73 I owned came with all the bits shown on the P914 site for '74 except it was missing the bag as mentioned earlier.
