Les,
I have never had  to rescue (tow) the  74 Midget.  (I can't say that  
about any of my other (modern) vehicles).  In the past 3 years we  
have put over 10,000 miles on the 74 and with regular maintenance  
these cars can handle the mileage.
I have rescued my more modern vehicles using the Midget and even on  
frosty/cold mornings the Midget will start and run reliably.
I carry a minimal amount of tools and a spare dizzy in the boot "just  
in case" but have never had to use it while on the road ;)
