So, Prince Charles was on the 6pm BBC News for an interview on climate change and mentioned that he runs his 50 year old Aston Martin on surplus English wine.
So, a few questions:
Were Aston Martins 50 years ago built to run on low octane fuels?
How do we run our Minors on wine?
Does it have to be English, how baout a nice Merlot?
Couldn't help but wonder what cheap plonk we could get away with in our cars, though I presume he only runs it round the estate and not on the public highway.

Don't forget surplus cheese byproducts as well. I thought I'd tuned in to Wallis & Gromit for a minute.

It runs on ethanol. Have a look at https://magazine.astonmartin.com/people ... iendly-db6
Re: Surplus English Wine & Minors?
You know, I never even thought to search online for it
Thanks for the link, shame really though - would have been nice if you just modified a few cheap components and off on your merry (intoxicated?) way

Re: Surplus English Wine & Minors?
Quite a few 60s sports cars ran(run!) better on higher octane fuel, 99+, so he's onto a winner there from that point of view.
Glad to be back!
Re: Surplus English Wine & Minors?
I can’t imagine that the Aston covers any serious annual mileage whatever it’s fuel. Perhaps of greater concern is the royals’ habitual use of helicopters.
