Petrol plus what?

I was talking to someone recently about adding additives to petrol to counter-act the effect of the lower octane and the increasing use of ethanol in petrol.  When I started looking at all of the options I came away confused.

Any thoughts on what works?  And the relative cost of these additives?

Thanks

Steering wheel

There is nothing wrong with the steering wheel fitted to my Daimler, however I have always fancied one of those lovely slim wooden ones.  Mota-lita make some lovely ones as do Nardi.  So do I buy one?

I do not need one, there are many other things I could more usefully spend my money on - but they do look good.

Any thoughts on which sort to get and also any issues with fitting them?

No more smell of petrol

Whenever I went in the garage it smelled strongly of petrol due to the tank leaking.  I was constantly propping the door open to let the fumes out.  Now it has had the new tank fitted it is a delight to go into the garage - no smell of petrol, just a shiny Daimler.

The garage that fitted the tank did a great job.  Martin Robey Jaguar parts were really helpful as I needed a couple of extra bits once the tank had been delivered.  The folks in their parts department were very helpful and polite.

The next job is to get the wire wheels fitted.  Two other jobs also remain, one is relatively easy - where do I get a wooden steering wheel?  The other task is more difficult - how do I get my wife to go for a ride in the car?

Petrol tank fitted

I have started to enjoy the Daimler more.  I treated it to a wash today. 

The best bit about the car apart from the looks is the wonderful soft burble of the V8.  I love it.

The petrol tank has finally been fitted.  There were a few minor issues on the way, more of which another day.  My next job is to sort the hubs so that the wire wheels can be fitted before winter.
