Cheap screwdriver set and socket set, Mole Grips and Pliers 5litres decent Oil 10 litres decent Fuel 10 litres pure water (for the car or you if you get stranded) Oil Filter Fuel Filter All belts Gearbox Oil Epoxy Putty (know the stuff that you cut a bit off and knead it together, good for fixing sumps) Throttle Cable Bulbs Gaffer Tape Lots of various size zip ties (if a coolant pipe splits gaffer tape and some zip tying will hold it) Anything that breaks and you can't fix with the above is gonna be terminal. The above is what I take on my 2500 mile mad mission around europe. Many a TVR has been back up and running after some zip tie, gaffer tape and epoxy putty LOL. Remember the front seat covers unzip so if you get stranded and its cold use em to keep your legs warm. Using the foam from the rear seats as insulation is also possible.
