The Following assumptions have been made:

Numbering started from 1000. If it was actually 0100, it won't make a hugh difference to the final calculations.

Production at Rochester Row didn't start until sometime between Apr-Oct, so
there wasn't a full years production in 1927, which one assumes is why we probably don't have a 1927 in our Database.

Key Milestones in Model 2 production are the move to Douglas Street. Known to be 1930.
Model 2 production believed to have ceased in 1936.
6052 is our highest Model 2 Serial Number.
Estimating the ebb and flow in production, with the start being slow and only part of the year, the peak in production being just before the release
of the Model 3, and then dropping dramatically after the introduction of first the Model 4 and then the Model 5.

Based on this, this is currently the best guess senario of Model 2 Production:


Serial Number range ---------------Year
1000 - 1150 ----------------------1927 Quarter Year Production? (Oct-Dec) Starting Serial 1000 ?
1151 - 1951 ----------------------1928
1952 - 2802 ----------------------1929
2803 - 3703 ----------------------1930
3704 - 4654 ----------------------1931
4655 - 5405 ----------------------1932 Model 3 Launch
5406 - 5756 ----------------------1933 Model 4 Launch (August)
5757 - 6032 ----------------------1934 Model 5 Launch (May)
6033 - 6158 ----------------------1935
6159 - 6239 ----------------------1936 Model 6 and Model 7 Launch

5230 Total Model 2's
