Nice shade of 1950s green.
It was manufactured in Scotland, not England. Hate to quibble, but I think you'd better change your posting quick before a Scot sees it.

To my knowledge they only ever had the factory at Kilbowie in Glasgow, which is what the K stands for in the serial number. That is why all my Singers are K models.

I've looked up the serial numbers of the 185s made at Kilbowie in 1960. Does it begin with EP or ER?
I meant to say the K in the model number stands for Kilbowie, not in the serial number. Sorry for making it even more confusing.
