Why it matters

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionType 108 six-cylinder cars across its three series: 200 (1928-1929), 875 (1929-1931) and 150 Type 108N (1931-1933); the total is the sum of these three figures | 1,2251 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The model ran in three successive series: 200 cars in 1928-1929, 875 in 1929-1931 and 150 in 1931-1933 for the 108N. The second series received a slightly longer chassis of 3.150 m (3.110 m on the first series) for a new spring-thrust system, and a new range of factory bodies. Outside coachbuilders including Currus, Rouault et Jongen, Duval and Kremiansky also bodied the chassis.
