A 240D in its day was a very popular car, especially in Europe and countries where gas prices were a lot higher then in the USA. Also, INHO, it is one of the "pretty" cars of the 80's. Diesel fuel back in does days was very inexpensive, not like today. 67HP, you got to give a little to get what most drivers of thes cars wanted, mileage. I am not surprised it runs well, with the proper car, there almost bulletproof, something Mercedes has lost the knach for today.
