Looks fairly schmick,does it have the pushbutton dash,I service one that is very original,paintwork is horrible but basically the body is solid and
original. The lady who owns it inherited it from her mother.

What make's you say that, how can you tell??

He may be saying that because of the chrome strip
on the front of the bonnet...
Is Yours an Australian made or German made??

Chrome strip has been added later on
As have the TS badges (just because I like them), overiders and later wheels.

The "moustache", I thought, is from the same year as his car ,ie 63 but from an S model. Its diffent (earlier) than the one I have on my Notch which
is from a 65 "S"..

Ah well, here goes Steve! What a nice early Notch. Yes, the bonnet strip is from the fully imported S model, 64-65 only. The Australian "Twin
S" didn't have any of these things. The bumper overriders are standard on up to 63 models ( all German produced and imported as far as I know) as
is no side chrome strips with the higher side parkers than the 64 on imported S models. The 64 on model produced here had the side chrome strips
without the side parkers etc. Good to see that the pushbutton switch has survived.
