Overkill I know, but I also carry a spare bottle of antifreeze and a litre of oil. Sod's Law and all that .....
And a roll of gaffa tape and a bungee cable
Buon viaggio

Blimey, I'd certainly find time to get it fixed. I bought a couple of spare SE wheels so I could take a full size wheel and tyre on my trips to the south of France and leave the 'bicycle wheel' behind. Fits in the well with boot floor a couple of inches higher than usual but the boot was always bigger than I needed. Get a puncture at speed and by the time you've stopped you'll likely need a new tyre not a puncture repair. French tyre shops want a King's Ransom for a standard tyre and the chances of getting the right tyre for an Elan are very slim. Takes several hours to do the 670 miles from Calais to Agde at full speed, crawling along on the spacesaver would take forever and look so embarrassing..
