So a 1957 SC1 which has been updated with SC3 front???

It would have been a very expensive exercise as the whole front is completely different, but it does look as though the bonnet is high enough to clear the tall six cylinder engine so maybe the twin headlight front wings still match the bonnet lower valance panels.
