Looks more like a C15. Early one with the non wooden steering wheel too. Interesting to see how they painted the entire wheel by the looks of things. Did you get the chassis number Andrew?

Default Interesting

The under bonnet number is for the chassis type which should be 8421 which is for a C15 - perhaps the bonnet or front shell has been replaced. 8442 is the C60S.
