What a beauty! My first car was a '78 DL. Mine was Beige, with a manual transmission with the overdrive switch on the gear shift. She had a hand-crank sunroof and I drove the wheels off of that car. I wish that I had taken a comprehensive video like this. Watching your video brought back some really great memories! Thank you for sharing!
Hugh MacDonald Hi Hugh, thanks for commenting! I’m just disappointed that I kind of half-baked this little video on it, my more recent ones are a bit more polished. It is truly an amazing car, I genuinely mean it when I say this kind of hyper-original classic excites me infinitely more than any super or hypercar. I suppose I wouldn’t have started a channel on Alternative Cars if that wasn’t the case though! When did you last see the car?
My first car was a mustard 1979 244dl auto. That had 90k miles when I bought it and it was incredible condition wise. Really like new - didn’t realise what I had back in 1992 when I sold it :(
It is a 1979 model. But it came in 1978. DL was the only model that had square headlights. All other 1979:ers had rectangular headlights. GL, GLE and 264

Have seen this car in the flesh. It is truly stunning. A real credit to the owner for putting in the money and effort to make it look brand new!
