He said:"They discovered they could run it on surplus English white wine, but also I hadn’t realised that they had mixed whey into it too.Charles arrived in his DB6 "The engineers at Aston said, 'Oh, it'll ruin the whole thing.' I said, 'Well I won't drive it then', so they got on with it and now they admit that it runs better and is more powerful on that fuel than it is on petrol."MORE: The Countess of Wessex set to open new ballet studios named in her honourThe DB6 famously played a major role at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in April 2011.
