I think it&#8217;s an exciting time because those sorts of advancements could transform the entire automotive industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt might mean you could keep the existing cars on the road just by a small conversion to the engine or by replacing the fuel. You keep the existing fuel station network and just repurpose it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, that is the Holy Grail and if I can get to that point and I firmly believe we will, it means the classic car industry has a very bright future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes it is uncertain times but it&#8217;s also really exciting times and I\u2019m confident that there\u2019s a long bright future for the classic car market to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Wheeler Dealers host devastated by stolen Ford Fiesta &#8211; \u2018like losing a child'[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Wheeler Dealers stars fought back \u2018tears\u2019 as new details emerge over stolen Ford[ANALYSIS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Wheeler Dealers star claims ULEZ impact will \u2018spread across the country'[COMMENT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/24\/590x\/secondary\/wheeler-dealers-classic-car-5047661.jpg?r=1699022660780\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Synthetic fuels are created by mixing Hydrogen and carbon dioxide into synthetic methanol.<\/p>\n<p>The format has since been embraced by major manufacturers with Porsche and Ferrari already investing in the new format.<\/p>\n<p>Germany has already confirmed it will allow sustainable fuelled cars to run even past the EU\u2019s 2035 petrol and diesel car ban target.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Smith, Conservative MP and transport committee member has called for the UK to also look into the technology.<\/p>\n<p>However, energy minister Claire Coutinho said the Government were &#8220;looking at synthetic fuels\u201d but suggested there were no immediate plans for any changes.<\/p>\n<p>Priestley suggested sustainable fuels could provide an alternative for those not interested in making the electric car transition.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI don\u2019t think we are in any danger of petrol stations disappearing in the foreseeable future.
