Hello matewavey.I'd add a rotor arm(Lucas only),and a new HT lead of the longest size,Bosch silver relay,spark plug heat sheild.You could also keep a spare drive belt,but they rarely break.
You could also carry a spare ignition module and coil,but where do you want to stop?

all of the above especially the spare throttle cable, and i also keep the following;

alternator belt (fan belt)
40amp fuses
100amp main fuse.
spare bulbs (a selection of all)
short length of cable with a male spade connector each end - very useful to bipass otter etc when the fans won't play ball.
spark plug heat shrouds (i kept my old ones when i replaced the lot with magnecor leads, i also kept the old ht leads - useful for diagnosing misfires)
