Yup.  The Sport too.

It's a box spanner on the Sport - I think you call them tube sockets.
It's double-ended - one end for lug bolts, one for spark plugs.  There
is a separate tommy bar in the kit (and a torque wrench).

(What you generally call a 'box wrench' we refer to as a 'ring spanner'.)

The Sport especially.  It has a few quirks that you just have to know.
