I have to agree with Joe. I have been running my '73 since about '82
on an exclusive diet of unleaded. If you have any questions, I would
recommend a paper on the British car archives on valves.

This was also referenced in a past issue of Triumph World, in the
Down Under section.

Craig,
I have been burning unleaded fuel in my Mk1 (with 1500 engine) for the
past 3 years and have had no problems. I think this unleaded thing,
like the Y2K thing has been greatly exaggerated!
Regards,
Joe
