I'm very pleased to have found a small chain of filling stations still
selling leaded petrol in .uk.  Apparently it's legal cos they have some
deal with a bunch of classic car clubs.  One of which I am a member of.

I don't actually need leaded fuel myself - the engine in my truck is,
being a military vehicle, designed to take any old shit cos you can't
guarantee the quality of fuel supplies when you're off invading third
world countries - *but* their leaded fuel is very high octane.  Although
they sell it as four-star, it's as near as dammit five-star.  Weeeeee!
They're amongst the cheaper suppliers too!
