A '71 doesn't have to use a leaded fuel, but if it's available, it wouldn't hurt. It's best to use the highest octane available that you can afford.

Yes, go ahead and use the 95 unleaded.  You may find some fine tuning is in order to get the best performance.

 Norway....I think someones confused about the year of their C-3. The last one 'C-3 '68 modell' looks more like a '72. Very nice though.longhorn29438829.8579166667

Unfortunely I don't read or speak much Norwegian.  Just a few simple words.  Spent a few days in Bergen during a trip back in 1990 - very nice city...!!!  I'll be traveling to Norway again this summer but will be in Trondheim and the family island off the coast near Osen where my grandfather grew up.
