2006 QP Exec GT. Car has neither spare nor tool kit.
Tyres/wheels are standard 285/35/19 & 245/40/19. Chrome plastic caps over wheelnuts.

What's the most cost effective spacesaver (I assume) spare, jack & spanner (or wrench if you prefer :) ), please?

I have a R230 hubcentric spacer adapted by TT Tools for a standard GT, cost me £100 but it doesnt fit my Stradale. Brand new. Money back plus postage 07957 856281 You will require a R230 18 wheel/ tyre

nothing really works which also can fit in the boot! Which "travel jack" would be trusted to lift 1900kg of car ?
Join a recovery organisation and carry can of tyre foam. Neither trident has suffered puncture yet.

My 3200 has the official space saver, which is Ferrari branded. Might check if it fits the QP

I'm happy to take the boot space hit. I live in the Highlands and although I have AA membership it can be a long wait :)
A travel jack rated for >1900kg!

The integrated foam&pump device is the one accessory that the car still has.
However not all punctures can be fixed by that means.

Regarding the jack - surely you don't need it rated for the whole car?

clearly not lifting all the weight :) but one corner still needs some heft. Maybe a decent spec bottle jack ? Certainly not the scissor type that used to arrive with new shopping car.

@jet_noise I know I can fit tyres in the cabin and at lest one in the boot so likely only the front goes in boot. Maybe removing the boot floor makes more room. I can check tomorrow.

OEM on a 2012 QPV Sport GTS- if you buy a second hand collapsible Vredenstein (18”) then you might have to check for creases/cracks.98178

I carry one of these in mine.
If you can locate the offending nail / screw etc it’s quick easy and can be repaired properly afterwards.

on my Jag once - easier than changing to the spare.

Used in a sidewall puncture on my Granturismo - if only to get me safely on the recovery truck

2, make sure the rubber strip penetrates the tire and turns the probe tool 360 degrees out. 3, if the deep slant hole wound must ensure the length of the rubber strip, to ensure that the rubber can penetrate the tire.

Interesting. A lot, an awful lot less expensive than a spare!
