Classic Car Toolkit - help me put one together

[Ffffaster]

Hi, I'm going on a 3,000 mile road trip in a 1960 Lancia.

She's in good shape, but she's 60 years old. I am fortunate to be traveling with a friend who knows his way around the car, but I think it would be wise to put together a classic car tool set. Happy to spend about £1,000 overall.

I've bough this set from Workpro, but what else should I be taking to you think? Do you think there is anything glaring that's missing/

Should I be breaking down what I need into categories?

1. Tools

2. Oils

3. Electrical

4. Duct tape, tow rope, zip ties, etc? (dodgy list, save for the towing rope)

5. Should I really be looking into some kind of jack?

Links to what exactly to purchase on Amazon (UK) or similar would be gratefully received. It's a minefield out there!

That sounds like a fantastic idea.
As well as a tool kit, you'll also need some spares. There's no point being able to disassemble the car if you can't replace the thing that's gone wrong. I don't know what is likely to fail, on your car, but look into things like rotor arms and distributor cars, hoses, hose clamps, any common failure point that could leave you stranded.
Some spare oil, brake cleaner, and some good gloves are always useful too.

Thanks a lot! If you have links to any generic hose, fuse, electric type sets/kits that would be awesome.
