Re: fuel in older cars
You can get LRP here in capetown. I used LRP and Unleaded in my beetle for years and had no issues.
Take note that i built the engine and had stainless valve seat inserts done on the heads.
Ran for years and was sold and still running daily on unleaded fuel.

Liqui moly makes a lead replacement additave that you can use.
The other alterantive as mentioned is to get stainless valve seats put into the heads.
