That's odd, he reckons he only ever used a couple of spanners... why on earth did he need £75,000 worth of tools in the first place??

According to the Q&As a lot of the tools belonged to Colin McRae's mechanic with the majority coming from a local reputable mechanic, he probably picked them up for a song at a clearance sale or auction.....

It appears he bought a workshop full of tools at auction or something like that and is selling what he has no need for.

What sort of "tool" would have that many spanners? Surely he would have a dozen or so of the same sizes within that collection. Did anyone spot any left handed screwdrivers in that chest?
