Actually Kev, there's an 11th one, the 721 sport phaeton though I don't know if any were actually produced. Let me also add for clarity that there was only one body available on the 1100, the #703 4-door (5 passenger) sedan.

It also may be interesting to note that the 1933 Eight (chassis 1001, 1002) was 127-1/2 inch wheelbase, and that the 1934 Eight (129-1/2" wheelbase) was a carryover from the 1932 Standard Eight (901, 902), also 129-1/2". This was apparently done to permit the 1933 Eight to use (from the cowl rearwards) the leftover bodies from the 1932 Light Eight (900)which was also on the 127" wheelbase.
