A CONVOY of classic cars is set to descend on Weymouth Esplanade this weekend. To celebrate National Drive It Day and raise cash for charity, a group of keen motorists in Weymouth will cruise down the seafront around 11am on Sunday - completing several circuits. The event will be spearheaded by the Weymouth Vehicle Preservation Society (WVPS) with the event sponsored by the Federation of Historic British Vehicle Clubs (FHBVC) to raise cash for the charity Childline. Peter Griffin, WYPS chairman, said: Traditionally National Drive It Day marks the start of the classic vehicle season. It s sponsored by the FHBVC to raise funds this year for the charity Childline.
The FBHVC is also pushing for reassurances classic car owners will not be “financially penalised” when purchasing the new fuel.
However, Mr Knight hinted this was unlikely to happen with drivers likely to pay a premium for access to the older fuel.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, he said: “One of the things that has come out is an agreement with the government that there will be “for the foreseeable future” an alternative fuel to E10.
“The debate that has been going on recently is whether the alternative fuel would remain normal unleaded or whether it would be a premium grade petrol.
