You might experience some issues with the valves wearing faster, and possibly sticking. Depending on how much you drive it, the increased wear may not be noticeable during the remaining lifetime of the car. If the valves stick, that would be more serious, but very easy to identify (engine starts to run real rough). Here in the USA, when we switched to unleaded gas, people with older cars had a couple of tricks. One was to fill-up with a mixture of gas - say 1/2 leaded, 1/2 unleaded. Another was to usually fill-up with unleaded, but fill-up with leaded every 3rd or 4th time.
