I was thinking about getting a small set of tools to stow in the trunk in case of need. Something that would get the work done while out of the garage.
But before that, I realized many of you certainly already put together a nice set.
This might also come in handy to anyone as a future reference.
I noticed I'll need at least a Torx 20 for disassembling the glow box and for fixing the latch in the trunk, an allen key and a wrench both 11 to install/uninstall the tow hook camera mount.

So what do you have in your toolbox? What did you use those tools for? It would be great if you included the sizes of wrenches, allen, torx or whatever you suggest!
 
I have the following in a bag: flashlight, pliers, multi-tool with a knife, small Porsche scissor jack that fits under the car, a wrench to take off wheel lug bolts, tire plugs and rubber cement, 12V air compressor, and duct tape. I had this same kit in my Elise, and it's allowed me to get home after puncturing a tire, or having a turn signal decide it wants to leave. Any bigger failure will likely need a tow truck. Given this car's sensitivity to battery voltage, I'm also contemplating carrying a 12V-charged portable jump-starter, but I've not bought one yet.
 
A phone, a charger for that phone, the number of a tow truck, a small adjustable wrench to apply some torque to the tow hook and keys to another car.

These car's aren't really roadside serviceable. The Torx to get into the frunk is in the took kit. If you get a flat, maybe a tire repair kit, but they're hard to get to without a lift. And good luck with an OBD scanner... my Autel doesn't have the lotus in it. Parts aren't available stateside, so any real issue is a tow truck to the dealer and go one with your day.
