you'll struggle to get an unstyled D in the UK as they only started importing them during the war around 1941/2 (we've a 1942 one) and most of the earlier than that have been brought over in modern times, the deeres tend to make at least 2-3000 dollars in the US so add on haulage and that unstyled one is a bargain. look out for leaky seals on the transmission and worn clutch / crank bearings. you can get most bits though but at a price.. theres not many folks stock parts for them in the uk, theyre also a heavy brute of a thing around 4 ton

The way I understand it; is that no unstyled D's were originally imported. Is that incorrect?

4 ton is a little high, I would have said more like 3. Still too much for an ifor Williams an Land Rover though.

well they didn't start styling them till the late 30s and as they weren't imported till the lend lease scheme expect so...i think lend lease started 40 or 41.
