My first 240D was a rusty & tired '82 automatic that had been well-thrashed by the PO's teenagers. It was pretty slow, but tolerable for local errands.
My latest is a solid-body '82 4-speed, with a factory replacement engine. It's quite peppy and enjoyable, even on the highway. It's the most refined and least 'diesel-like' of all the 240Ds that I've owned or driven. I keep it at my parent's home in Virgina Beach, where hills aren't an issue. I sometimes wish it had a 5-speed though.
