Both I suppose..
1960 car but
Looks like a recessed windscreen..
Later engine?, gear lever?..
I do like it the way it is, it's an old one so it has it's foulds.
I'd paint the bonnet the right colour, give it a good clean and leave it exactly as it is.

What a lovely thing to own. I bet that makes 10 grand+
It would be a shame to over restore that A good clean and polish and the bonnet painted and it would be lovely.

Absolutely - they were tinkered with in every way imaginable ;-)

I really like that modified 1960. Especially since it's not being passed off as more than it is. Saw a recent resto that was done into something like that at a show last year, it was great. This cleaned up a bit would be a stormer.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

That modified 1960 car looks absolutely fantastic! A real time warp piece.

However, The "Long Range Fuel Tank" looks less impressive. I have seen Works long range tanks & all the ones I have seen have not looked like that. This doesn't guarantee that it isn't what the seller says it is, but I'd be a lot happier if it looked more like this.

I don't know what they were smoking when they put those side stripes on.

Surely it should be £2700, give him the benefit of the doubt :)
