European Vehicle Breakdown and Recovery Challenge

I need a breakdown and recovery policy for 22 days to cover France, Spain and Morocco. Sounds straightforward. However the insurers don't appear to cover Morocco. I can live without that. I'm going with friends and can always get a tow back to a garage in Spain.
My next problem comes in the vehicle is positively archaic being of 1996 vintage and outside of most policies 12 year rule. Its mechanically sound, we're taking more spares than we are food just to be on the safe side as well as several mechanics. All I really want is a policy which states "we will tow your vehicle back to the UK if we can't repair it locally". The actual policies read we'll stick you on a train and ship the parts to your vehicle eventually.
Can anyone suggest a company which can help at a sensible price and does anyone have any experience of having used them outside the UK?
Greenflag want £155, the AA £140, the RAC £115.76, Europassist £82.39, Tesco £45.50 (but no return to UK)
Thank you

Direct Line European Breakdown can be set up for the 22 days you're away instead of paying for a full years cover. And its provided by Greenflag so its likely to be similar cover.0
