This D-type is the only know Salonette in existence, so this is the opportunity to acquire a very special pre-war MG into a collection, use at shows and of course drive for the sheer pleasure. It really is a little Jewel of a car & surprisingly is a 4 seater; albeit one best suited to children in the rear. The atteniton to correct detail is fantastic with the car being absolutley correct to original specification.
