The 'D' type Midget was introduced in 1931, alongside the 'F' type Magna, as a
four-seater to complement the original 'M' type which continued in production.
It had the same engine as the 'M' type, but it inherited the lower chassis of the 'C' type
racing car. This gave it a longer wheelbase than the 'M' type and it was referred to as
the 'long chassis' Midget. In production, the wheelbase grew a further 2 inches.
Although 'bespoke' bodies were available, as with the 'F' type, the 'D' type was mainly
supplied with the same Tourer and Salonette bodies as the 'F' type, but was never
given the 2-seater 'sports' body.
It was phased out, like the 'M' type, when the 'J' type was introduced in 1932.
