Guys and Gals.............Pleeeeeeeeeeeease can you tell me of the essentials with regards to spares required to enjoy TVR (Tuscan) driving...i.e. fuses, switches, motors, air-con gas and compressors etc???
Seriously, I'm quite new to the site and driving a TVR near-on everyday and don't want to be cought with ones pants down...(unless mooning at speed camera whilst your mate cracks by in Tuscan S - no plates).
Thanks alot.

1. RAC or AA membership
2. Mobile phone
3. Couple of 10p pieces in case out of signal for mobile phone.

Works for me.

Actually, not entirely true, but would suffice. I also carry
1. Spare coolant (pre-diluted)
2. Spare oil
3. Collection of tools
4. Heavy duty wire and heavy duty electrical connectors to rewire fans if necessary.
5. Digital multimeter
6. Spare fuses
7. Gaffer tape
8. Electrical insulation tape
9. Collection of cable ties
10. Assorted jubilee clips
11. 12v inspection lamp
12. 2 cans of TyreWeld
13. Baby Boa Constrictor (the tool, not a snake!)
14. Copy of "The Bible" (Steve Heath edition, not God botherer edition)

But as I said, all you really need is breakdown cover, a phone and some patience.
