The only known example of an early 1930s MG is for sale following a restoratio­n to ‘fanatical’ standards.

As built, the D-type featured M-type mechanical­s fitted on a lengthened C-type frame. This, the only Salonetteb­odied version, has been re-built to factory specificat­ion and finished in Duotone Oxford, with the idea of making the car look as it did when new, while also attempting to retain as much of the original fabric as possible.

Richard Biddulph of vendor, Vintage & Prestige of Northampto­n Ltd., said: ‘ The attention to detail is fantastic and it would be fair to describe the owner as “fanatical” as far as the standard of this restoratio­n is concerned.’

The asking price is £68,000.
