The problem with an old Doctors bag or similar is that it is difficult to hide it away in an Austin 7, I use an old Thorntons Toffee tin for the small tools, which tend to be the ones you need, and a simple tool roll for the larger ones. These fit nicely under the drivers seat out of the way yet are readily accessible. I also have two shallow shortbread tins under the back seat, one contains gaskets, sealants etc and the other has bits of fuel pipe, linkages, wire, carburettor spares etc etc.
Small plastic trays with compartments and clip on lids are good for small bits and pieces like nuts and bolts, screws, washers etc. I bought a fishermans tackle bag from Lidl which had about half a dozen such boxes inside, they are scattered throughout the garage. The bag they came in is useful for a packed lunch.
