It just saves re-post after re-post and re-post.
If you can't get V Power or Tesco 99 then I would suggest using BP Ultimate or Esso SUL (both are 97 RON) along with some octane booster.

Jesus guys, like you havn't asked 'simple' questions before! 
If your car is pretty much standard (exhaust, filter mods only) then any super unleaded will be fine. Some are obviously better than others, but you shouldn't have any problems. Have heard reports of BP Ultimate being very poor quality though.
If you are really worried, you can have your ecu remapped to suit which ever fuel you are likely to use.

I had a MY98 for 8 years from new and always ran it on Morrisons normal unleaded. 93k miles, and never had any problems apart from a bit of piston slap when cold, but that was there almost from day 1.
Of coarse, if the car is (heavily) modded, then I would perhaps take the advice of others on the forum
