its registration date on the certificate is 31/12/1963 but i'm sure it could be wrong...................

maybe

They changed to the 1964 model from August '63, but obvioiusly the registration date doesn't actually mean when it was made.

The colour (assuming original Sea blue) was used for 1964 and 1965 model years only. I think the moustache also changed for '64 but apart from having a '64 1500S Variant in the family until about '78, I couldn't be sure what wasn't fitted to earlier models.
Best way is from the chassis number; from 221 975 to 483 592 it's a '64 model year.

so would they have kept it as a push button model as i was lead to belive 63 was the last the year for them i'm confused

hay ho i still love it and the gas burners its sitting on that are really light when you lift em up odd

Hey dude.. That wasn't meant as an offensive message.

You can tell a 63 model by the lights on the front quarters because they're above the swage line and I think I'm right in saying they all had bullet indicators and no side trim because there was no S spec car in 63.

'64 models were the last with pushbutton dash although it might have been changed half way through the year. I know this because mine is also a 64 1500 S model with push button dash and orange needle gauges

Mine was first registered September/October 1963

Looks like a cool car. And the burners really suit it. Just needs lowering a bit more

Chassis number 423 139 was the last with push-button dash. That looks like somewhere in June 1964.
