[A11]? With the indicators missing? Which I think should be under the headlights.

Yes, very early style.
This has the Superba front end which I believe was gone by 1963.

Why 1960 particularly?
Wasn't that front used from ca 1956 to 1962 or 1963?

That grille with the "starburst" parking lights was used from the fall of 1958 till early 1963. The Marathon introduced in 1961 had the parking lights under the headlights.

Changing this then to 1958 as first of possible years.

Just one last correction, It's an A9. Had it been a Superba, it would have been a A10
