100LL for Classic Vehicles ?

Myself and a few acquaintances run some Classic Motor-Cycles and Cars, and have been thinking of using 100LL to avoid the problems which can now exist, such as...
The use of Ethanol in fuel has caused some problems by softening Fibre-Glass Tanks. The alternative fuel is of a low octane rating and gives 'pinking' problems on some high compression engines.


On some Classic Motor Cars the exhaust valve seats really require some lead in the fuel to prevent early erosion.
I know the LL means Low Lead, but surely Low Lead is better than No Lead at all.


Some guys have been fouling plugs on two stroke engines, the use of a hotter plug cures the fouling, but causes some pre-ignition during quick throttle openings.
Has anyone used this Avgas, and does it cure most problems?
