If you are wanting to further check the car is indeed a 1963 early production Swedish "S" model, check the inner wing plate under the bonnet showing body "Pressed Steel".
If you are not familiar with this plate set in the wing, let me know. I have a 1964 built regular coupe.

I have looked on the register database and the extra photos there make the engine bay look correct for an early S car.

Hello Andy,
the whole structure has been strengthened inside and underneath. The body is very rigid. It makes a very professional impression.
Regards
Andreas

Hello Andy,
it was not built by the mechanic. According to MTM the mechanic bought the car already as a convertible.
Regards
Andreas

Interesting. I'll see if I can find out any more about it. Don't hold your breath though!

Hi Andreas,
Just looked through my old messages, apparently it was built by a chap named Laurie Sullivan, who worked for Mike Lawrence at Cumbers Garage in Brixham.
No more details I'm afraid
Good luck with it, you'll have a lovely car when it's finished.
Regards, Andy
