spare parts and what tools

[wongthecorrupter]

Hi, me and my wife are off to Europe for 2 weeks in September. This is our first trip and i'm wondering what spares and tools to take. It will be serviced next week inc all belts etc and the throttle cable was recently replaced. Any help , ideas would be nice. Cheers

Never needed any of this lot on our S Club Eurotours .
But it's a comfort to know it's there if we need it.

ColinRedGriff's list above is quite a comprehensive checklist, but I would recommend carrying a set of jump leads in addition.

And if you're packing all the electrical gubbins, a small reel or two of electrical cable might come in handy to give you something to crimp the terminal ends onto.

We had a 2500 km trip in the 3000S, she is 35 years old, and you are getting nervous over a tuscan ??
(Ye of little faith !)

Just joking, the car is very well prepared. Looking forward to it

I leave this saturday, wish me luck. The car is well prepared and running a treat after a good fettle from Mart at TGA

The above road was amazing, best road I have ever driven on. We have done the n58 route napoleon today heading in to Monaco. It was a good road but hard work at times in the Tuscan. Monaco is a mental place, some right machinery here, but no TVR's yet. I still cant believe the attention the Tuscan gets over here, its like the Frenchies have never seen one before. Good trip up to yet if a little stressfull at times with finding hotels and traffic etc. We head for Maranello in the morning for one night then a little mini 3 night break at lake garda where I can finally have myself a good amount of beer

I might see you on the A26/E70 Fly into Bergamo early tomorrow morning, pick car up from Como then drive down to Ancona after lunch. May go the long way though via Genoa and Florence as I haven't been that way before and a drive over the Apennines sounds fun.
Watch out for some really sharp dips between Piacenza and Bologna on the Autostrada, hopefully now fixed but last time I drove that way with a boot full of wine and passenger (not in the boot) I nearly took off.

Enjoy the trip.

Cheers for the advice and I will keep my eyes peeled, its not like I have seen any other TVR'S yet

Maranello yesterday, we enjoyed that. We stopped for one night in the maranello village hotel. Good stop over and very cheap. We did go to the Ferrari museum, its well worth the trip. The Tuscan was like centre stage there. People asking questions and taking pics/filming all the time. We are at lage garda now where we stop for 3 nights,we then head to Davos via the stelvio pass.
