The only thing your frame no. tells me is that it is a 1960 model. For further help please give the engine details (inc. eng. no.)

All I know about the engine is that its a 9e, and the tag that has the engine number is missing!!

I have just realised you have posted this in 2 sections (not that it matters at all). As an off road machine i believe it will either be a 'Scottish' trials model or a 'Hawkstone' scrambler model, but i am not expert enough to say which. Both these models used the Villiers 9E engine.
Looks good in the picture!
