New E10 fuel changes will help meet Boris' targets despite classic car damage risks


The DfT said this worked out at the equivalent of removing around 350,000 cars from the road.
However, experts at the RCA have warned there could be as many as 600,000 vehicles currently on the road which are not compatible with the fuel.
