How does this look for a 1963 3C? Does it look right?

That's a 3c mk1 I believe? There's one exactly like it a few miles away from me! But its in a much worse condition!

It could be a 63 3c check the drivers door the very last few 1967 models opened the opposite way to the earlier versions. The very first versions of the 3c did not have a door you just climbed in and out of the back. What a lovely straight non rusty machine i would say it has been kept undercover for most of its life, do you know about it's previous history.

In the second photo it appears to have a side door at the front that slides to the rear.
