Mini Story

A genuine piece of mid-century Australian workshop history.

This Gee-Jay Motor Products No.101 Extension Springs tin was originally supplied to mechanics and accessory merchants and proudly states “Made in Australia by Australians”.

While the original springs are no longer present, the tin itself has survived decades of workshop use and remains a great display or storage piece — ideal for a garage, shed, man cave, or automotive memorabilia collection.
