E10 fuel

With the government announcement on the introduction of E10 “green” fuel from September this year have the implications of this fuel been assessed for Morris’?

I have 1960 Minor with a 948 unleaded head & 1970 Traveller with a 1098 original head

Comments welcome

Re: Gear selection

Sadly the gear lever will not engage any forward gears with or without the engine running

the gear lever moves left to right but will not go towards the rear gear

Thanks
