I'm taking the Sport to Le Mans next month and want to avoid the same problem as I had in 2011 when the fuel filter broke and left me stranded on the autoroute hard shoulder. Not wanting a repeat performance, what parts would you suggest I take in case of emergency, obviously towing another E30 is out of the question
but I'm open to suggestions. The car will have a service and check over before we go.

I always carry a spare rotor arm and dizzy cap, and a water pump/alternator belt. But then the only things that can fail on mine, stop the car and are repairable at the side of the road are pretty much those two things. M10 with a weber ftw in regards to road side maintenance.
