The seller has ended the listing early because the car is no longer for sale. Hmmmm...fishy.

Cheers,

I'm probably jumping to conclusions. Maybe it's a euro? I saw that the headlights are european; perhaps euro 240Ds have different speedometers.
the speedos in both my cars go to 100 and the cargo nets are sagging. after 20 years they can!

it looks like the mileage is actually 72 thou from what i could tell.

not sure

but i think that the euro vin is different in the first four of five numerals, being more numerals and less letters. this is just from memory. his number is the same for the first six to eight numerals as my 83 240 us spec.

not that being a euro is bad, it just means that the speedo has been changed.

i could write an essay on the plusses and minuses of euro models, but another time.
