In the Boot

"Agree far less in an old car to cause fires compared to new, Mines a 50s too."
Particularly, unless rerouted, the pump to carburettor fuel pipe directly above the exhaust manifold. In spite of that I don't carry a fire extinguisher in the car, but do use decent ethanol friendly fuel pipe. Not those steel braided things that have more than once failed.
In addition to items already mentioned I do lug around all sorts of stuff that will, hopefully, never be needed. Even a spare fully set up distributor!

I do carry a fire extinguisher in the car. It's important that it is suitable for vehicle fires. Of course it goes without saying that you should only ever attempt to extinguish a small fire. I may be rather ridiculously over-attached to my Morris but it is only a car. Be prepared to walk away and let it burn.
