Boris has just announced the introduction of the much reported on E10 ethanol fuel that will destroy older fuel pipes & pumps.
If this becomes the only way to keep vintage vehicles on the road, I think I'd be willing to fit one in my truck.

It’s so much money though. Keep looking at swaps for the beetle and while the motors themselves aren’t too bad it’s all the stuff to go with them that ramps the price up
