its a 541 as mentioned above, but the 541r is a better looking car as the rear arch 'stakes' are the same thickness as the front ones, so it visually looks much more balanced.

Many believe the original 541 is the leaner and more svelte look.

Hope no one takes offence and I know it's purely my taste but I think those things are hideously ugly.

How about this for a non-sequitur? My Dad had a Sunbeam Rapier Series one Pippin Red & Moonstone with a floor change & YKX444 registration!

It's unlikely to be an early '60s car because the 541 was only made from '54 to '59 and the 541R was '57 to '60.

No offence taken, but I rather like them. Very underrated car too.
