'D' type Midget


The 'D' type Midget was introduced in 1931, alongside the 'F' type Magna,
as a 4-seater to complement the '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. '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 never the 2-seater 'sports' body.
It was phased out when the 'J' type was introduced in 1932.
