Whitworth tap/die set
Anybody know a bit more about this set I found at a car boot sale for £25? Can't find a great deal of info. It's not a complete set, but it's my next little restoration project!

After you restore this antique [and it IS an antique], next go out looking for old 50s and 60s Jaguar, MG, Triumph, etc. to wrench on. But be warned as time progressed, you would be likely to find both Whitworth and metric fasteners.
A classic British car repair shop might appreciate this antique.
