Do not forget the basics a spare key if you do not already have one and also a can of petrol, I always have a throttle cable to hand as well as they seem a bit of a pain to get quickly.

Lastly make sure you are fully equiped to deal with a flat tyre I have been straned before with a stuck alloy wheel to the hub, check that any locking wheel nuts have a correct spanner and that they are not seized.

Hopefully you will never neeed to use them!

Believe so yes. I also carry a throttle cable and a can of tyre weld (spare takes up too much space)

I found with my previous 'classic', a Lotus Europa Twin Cam that the engine and electrical spares were always easy to obtain and I would guess the Griff would be much the same. The hard or even impossible to find were parts like windscreen rubbers and various trim and seal items. For the Griff I would also look for a steering rack, mirrors and tripods, light units etc. It would be interesting to know how many windscreens and side window glasses are left. Bespoke parts will always be hardest to find in the future.
