The Opel Rekord Series D is a large family car that replaced the Rekord C on Opel's Rüsselsheim production lines during the closing weeks of 1971 and launched on the West German market at the start of 1972. It shared its wheelbase and inherited most of its engines from its predecessor, but the bodies were completely new. Also new, announced in September 1972, was the option of a diesel powered Opel Rekord. Early advertising and press material called the new car the Opel Rekord II, but in due course that appellation was dropped, and the Rekord D was replaced by the Opel Rekord E in 1977.
