Then according to what I've learned, the works made a marketing move. The cars didn't sell well and so they changed the name to Speedy. They also changed a couple of other things, such as the column and wheel, and the wiring. Then the already manufactured bodies went to dealers to assemble. I don't know if any Speedies were built at the works. The Harry Ferguson car that ran in the 1934 Le Mans, would be a Type 75, I think.
Congratulations Erich
