Furthest you have gone in your Mk1?
Anyone done a big road-trip? What did you take in terms of spares? Mine's a Weber carb'd 1800 auto in an 82 shell.

Likewise, went from Sandhurst to Edinburgh with a few stops on the way - great fun :wink:

As for spares, just had a fanbelt plus a can of oil and five litres of water as I didn't know the engine (in the end it didn't use a drop of either)

Virtually without stopping, just a few pitstops for us along the way.
Spent a week pootling round the region followed by another 800 mile trip back plus the couple of hours Dover to home.
Never missed a beat the whole time :mrgreen:

Been abroad in it about 20 times since then and the last time I think I had a bulb kit and a fan belt.
Sounds as if you can fix things yourself but don't forget the things you have to have such as the hi-vis jackets - I've heard of the French Police fining people for not having them inside the car.
You'll see loads of Mk1s in Croatia - I think they might have assembled them there.
Have a great trip!
