That is very short for a November 1961 car.

Was the car registered in November 1961 or built in November 1961?

Do you have photographs of the gutters and front gutter corners and the floors? Do you have a chassis number? PM if you don't want it public or just the first few numbers and if it's a 4 or 5 digit number.

Thanks will Pm Simon with chassis number.
Ps that is actually ancient sawdust on the roof although it looks like rust!
Shell is quite good other than floors.
