Just picked this up today. Saw it on CL with one distant photo. I was drawn to it because it appeared to be orange or coppertone, I had never seen an orange brit.
When I arrived however I discovered it is actually a ridiculously faded red bicycle. Oh well. lol
Here are some photos, hub says made in 1962:

If you see the CL photo you would see why I thought it was orange. Here is the photo he posted of it:

Even the handgrips look orange, they are actually just white with dirt and sunburn. lol
Also there are differences in the photo he posted and the actual bike. In the photo there is a reflector on the rear rim, no one black cable, and a license plate under the seat...I wanted that license plate. :/
 
Looks familiar, but your pedals are in sync...

IIRC, my hub is dated '62 also. Cool bike. :D
