If we exclude the special Japanese-market cars, the short chassis was finished by the end of 1932. Precise details are hard to verify, but the tourer (AG) ended in mid-1932, the boat-tail 2-seater (PC) around September, and the last short-chassis van (VE or VF?) in November. That seems to be give a reasonable time-scale between versions for the Drawing Office to prepare the plans, the Press Department to make the dies, and Production to instigate the build; obviously the faster-selling models would take precedence over the small-volume versions.
