Fittingly it was down to Supacheap to buy a small socket/spanner set to keep in the boot. We also detoured past the friend's place again.
The car ran beautifully, smooth, responsive - well, as responsive as a 45 year old 1.5L 2 speed auto can manage, which isn't much, and rode pretty quietly.
Upon returning home I noticed a small coolant leak due to a lack of sealant around an outlet from the water pump (it's a screw in attachment), which has been fixed.
One of the trans lines was oozing near the radiator, which I since sealed and added a new clamp.
And then the contact points closed on me so it took a good 20 minutes to locate why it wouldn't start. Reset them and we're good again!
