"Relay Service" not just breakdown is a must with older cars:~

I run three and don't expect anything other than a basic look from the call out service- they don't tend to carry spares for a 65year old car! never mind 33years & 24years

Recovery! in my part of the world recovery of vehicle and taxi home if necessary is part of the insurance service.And the premium for my classic cars is only around 60eu!

You can get breakdown & Recovery for just under £60:00 in the U.K.
Personnel cover based- every single car you own- every car you may travel in- spouse included.
Age of car never comes into it- Classics to Biscuit Tins!
Coupled with good service.

Excellent input as ever everyone, many thanks.

Whatever parts and tools you decide to carry, I would also add a pair of overalls, latex gloves and a decent torch.
