Can I run my classic Mercedes-Benz W123 E-Class on unleaded fuel with an additive?
I am buying a 1982 Mercedes-Benz W123 200E. It is in superb condition, having only covered 99,000 miles. Would it be better to run it with unleaded fuel and add lead-type additive, or is normal unleaded okay?

If it hasn't been converted, you'll need to use LRP or an additive to be on the safe side.
