Do I see the front indicator? |

If you do, then it's 1961-62 |

On a 1960 rally???? Mustang Model Years had not been invented yet. |

@dsl; Set late November 1960, it's not too early for a 1961 model. The trafficators would be just a shadow (of doubt). Colour would be the L456 Ruby Red available for 1961-67 Typ1. Seems like a UK car, with the single mirror for a RHD vehicle? Sadly the (partial) registration is unreadable. On the other hand, the L451 Indian Red available to the Typ1 1960 only, is a closer match. If so, then the indicators would be added by the owner? @dsl; Your Glass's would list any changes, if your market had indicators before the autumn of 1960 (like in the US), it would surely be mentioned here? |

Indicators on wings listed from August 1960. If it's got a WVJ plate (see the Rapier picture), = Herefordshire July-Oct 1960. |

Checking and re-checking again does give a start of 1961 model at October 1 1960, chassis 3 335 848 if you should ever find a chassis number. So yes, the indicators were added to the last batch of the 1960 model, leaving the subject vehicle a 1960 should then be correct. |
