Amazingly, considering the mayhem of WW11, all the production records on the Dixi and early BMW vehicles remain intact so it should be easy to identify the date when the chassis was supplied to Weinburger. Production of the first Dixi 3/15PS commenced in December 1927. In the first quarter of 1927 Austin's had despatched 100 Austin Sevens to Dixi to allow the company to familiarize themselves with the model. By December the only notable Austin supplied parts were the chassis side members and wheel hubs. The rest were Dixi manufactured. A remarkable achievement in such a short space of time.
