I agree that it's unlikely all three cars were completed by the end of April. There was talk of a car being seen on the roads before Easter (Easter Sunday was 16th April), but I suspect someone just remembered 'before a bank holiday' and it was more likely to be just before Whitsun. (The Austin board didn't approve the production of the three cars to a design yet to be agreed until the meeting of April 5th, and it was not until the meeting of May 3rd that it was agreed that the car would be built by the Austin Motor Company. Shutting stable doors and bolting horses come to mind
