Can these old ships run unleaded petrol?

My uncle is having trouble getting the LRP petrol he's used to.

a) Can he just use unleaded instead, with the car as it is?

b) Can he use unleaded if he just retards the timing (and by how much)?

or

c) Can he only use unleaded if he had hardened valve seats fitted?

Ta.
