Assuming the car is right hand drive, the chassis number of 63368 places the car about mid September 1950.

A Heritage Certificate will give you all the details you require.

With use of the word 'Morry' I'm wondering if Roblyn might be Antipodean ??

Will a Heritage Certificate apply to a CKD car?
It'd be interesting to find out.

Early lowlights sent to Australia weren't CKD, they were fully assembled at Cowley and dispatched by boat. Gaydon certainly have the build records for those cars, I checked through records earlier this year 👍
