1978 was the first model year of the Rekord [E]. |

That´s right. But this one is an E1 with chrome bumpers and already has an aerodynamic mirror (like seen on the E2 series). Two possibilities: 1) The owner retrofitted the newer mirrors on his car (common practice. I always did the same as well) 2) It´s original. Then it can only be built in 1982 (interim model). -- Last edit: 2008-02-25 17:48:49 |

You're right and two other details can identify it as a 1982 model year: the rear bumper that reaches the rear wheelarch and the separated badge on the front wing ( Luxus or Berlina ). About the trim it's not very easy: it seems to have standard steel wheels, but it seems to have the sticker strip along the body like a Berlina. The additional chrome trim around the side windows would confirm it, but the snow doesn't help... |

Simple steel wheels are probably because studded M+S tires have been changed for the wintertime. |
