Clearly touring in a Morgan demands a tool kit as unlike the modern boxes there is a significant probability it will be needed.
Other than the means to remove wheels what do you carry?
So far and based on my limited experience it seems that a couple of screwdrivers and a selection of bulbs (or lamps if you prefer)are essential, but I'm sure there must be more.

I usually have a full accompanyment of tools in the 4/4 for most of my jaunts....cordless drill..you name it, but that's only because i'm off to the boat...see...  Maybe i've been lucky, but in 14,000 miles of happy Morganeering, no tools have been needed for the 4/4 while out on the road.

Don't forget the "gaffer tape", very useful for holding bits on.

Cable ties - incredibly useful, and can secure all sorts of things.
Chain splitter and selection of chain bits.
Various spanners and screw drivers.

A small kit with ratchet and bits under the seat.
A set of bulbs and fuses in the tool tray behind the seats, and a larger monkey wrench.
I also keep a Ledlenser headlight in the glove compartment.
For longer trips I also pack a plastic box with a small grease gun, 1 extra cartridge, rags, and some use and throw away rubber gloves.

 This small socket set from Halfords for £15 contains both metric and imperial sockets plus screwdriver bits. Apart from what everyone else has mentioned I carry a spare plug lead and a spare damper blade.

Similar for me: Small spanners A few screwdrivers Adjustable spanner Small grease gun Small can of motorcycle chain lube (for rear springs) Set of bulbs & spare fuses. Spare relay (suits fuel pump/cooling fan etc - carried after the fan relay failed on one UK trip) Cable ties Gaffer tape Tube of Bostik glue (carried after a hood rubber seal came loose on one trip) Most go neatly into a small canvas tool roll and then stored on the floor behind the passenger seat; the rest go into the tool tray under the rear shelf. We have taken the 4/4 to either France or Northern Spain every year for the last 8 years.  Absolutely fantastic trips. I also carry a hood cover, a steering wheel lock and a wash kit (comprising a collapsible bucket, small sponge and drying cloth): plus warning triangle (2 needed in Spain) and 2 x reflective tabbards.

Don`t forget the WD40 - to disperse water, free seized up bits and handy for removing bird crap from the paintwork.
