No experience with Austins yet but I know I avoid the Ethanol fuels in my MGB. The car runs better on high octane mineral fuel and I don't have to worry about all the rubber hoses in the car. Also the exhaust always smells a bit odd with E10 fuels. Somewhat unburnt although the plugs are always looking fine when I check. Probably something you notice more in an open top car.
I find it hard to find out exactly what is in the fuels here. The web sites for the fuel companies all talk in marketing bullshit (with fine print saying may not be applicable to the real world). I might see if I can ask them for the MSDS for the fuels to see what's in them. Edit: BP at least have them online: http://www.msds.bp.co.nz
It's also true about how dangerous siphoning petrol is, especially if you get any in your lungs. My uncle ended up in hospital from it once after having some 'go down the wrong way" transferring fuel about.
