 1959?! It is typo or car in not original condition? Lack of T at the boot lid makes it 1971.

Oh, if you find 603-1 with original body you shall be lucky one!
It was very common the changing 603-1 bodies to 603-2 after few years of corrosion atacks or accident.
It became part of normal offer on Tatra factory in Pribor.

 Then we need someone who listed this. Plate I guess says not much.

 However we should leave 1971 603-2 or type 1959 603 (with 1971 T603-2 body).

 Then I would vote for the second version.

 To be perfectly precise: 1959 603 (with 1971+ T603-2 body)

 I'd guess the older date of build was just a trick to make import to the UK possible...

.... or to make it eligible for free road tax, a scheme which applied to cars over 25 years old on a rolling basis. So if the car was imported in mid 1990s or earlier a 1959 date would qualify, but not 1971. The free road tax scheme now applies to any car built before Jan 1973 with no annual updating of the threshold year.

I would do the opposite, as it could be a 1971 with fake registration, no? As the comments above mine suggest.
And even if it is a 1959 with 1971 body I'd list it as 1971 [...] on 1959 chassis

 Fake registration is less probable than body's rechange.
Most of 1957-1962 Tatra 603s existing today hasn't original body. We talk about 70 % of all.
