I am selling my dads old 69 Minor on eBay - Click here... I just wondered if anyone knows whether it will run on unleaded (premium or super) or will it need additives???
Cheers

unleaded
many people on here have successfully run their Minors on unleaded without using additives, many more are trouble free using additives. It seems, from the factory testing which was carried out that it depends usually on how hard you use the engine. High speed motorway use produced wrecked heads(valve seat recession) in a fairly short mileage.
You only need to keep a check on the valve clearances, a closing of the gap obviously indicates problems.
