You are around the borderline for the changeover to unleaded. The Marcos Graveyard must be away at the moment, he will know the answer

as far as i can gather it should be leaded,
how long have you had the car?

reason i ask is that if you havent had it long it may have been converted to unleaded at some earlier time,
is it possible to check back through its maintenence record?

personally i would advise anyone with an older mini to run with an additive whether it has been converted or not!
