MG Midget and Sprite General - 1931 MG D Type

I'm pretty sure most have not seen An MG "D"
I just came across a photo I took last January of Mike Goodwins car,
Mike, originally from England, is a boat captain and MG restorer here in South Florida, He's the guy in the white tee shirt behind his beautiful car.

That's nice.

Yes not at all common.

Curiously in our local MGCC natter, there are 4 of them. 2 or 3 of which are on the road.

how about this for a D type (not just D) ;)

I am pretty sure most midget owners do not know the roots of their car!
Starting with the old M type midget.

But unlike manny think not the 50/60's but the 30's where the glory day's for MG with the MMM cars (Midget's Magna's and Magnette's)

Yes the sold less but in technology and sporting sucsesse where massive!

Indeed. Notice the use of hand-signals before flashing indicators.

Onno that's not a D; the door tops are horizontal on a D type, your pic is more like a J2
David Smith

Anorak donned ! I think that is a J1, the 4-seater version of the J2. Notice the cut-away door - D-type is horizontal.

David - you should know better! I bought your J1 all those ago for restoration. Did most of the mechanical restoration and then unfortunately, circumstances dictated that I sell it

J2's have suicide doors
so that it certainly is not

J1 might indeed be correct

I just looked at the door hinge side and clearly totaly missed the door/body line!

It is clear why i wear glasses then ;)
