  • Episode 95: The truth about sustainable fuel for classics

    15 SEP 2023 · Pioneering renewable fuel specialist, Coryton, recently launched the UK's first publicly available sustainable fuel. It is a fuel that could secure the future of the classic vehicle movement and historic motorsport. The SUSTAIN Classic range allows regular combustion engines in our Jaguars to be fuelled by environmentally friendly, plant-based petrol without the need for any engine modifications. Now available from launch partner, Motor Spirit at Bicester Heritage, with more stockists to follow, there are already classic cars on our roads using the fuel and a number of rallies and motorsport events have also utilised the fuel. In this podcast, we speak to Andrew Willson, CEO of Coryton and Business Development Director David Richardson about their vision of the future, the details behind how the fuel is made and how it might be scaled up for future use. There is a lot of optimism, realism and innovation in this podcast - so we hope you enjoy the insights it offers!
