Vintage Carlton bike

Hi there I'm a new member
I've recently saved an old Carlton bike from being skipped and I'm hoping to tidy it up as close to original as possible but I'm having trouble identifying the age. I think it's early 60's but any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Looks like a 1970 Carlton going by the K at the start of the serial number. We've a 1975 Carlton Corsa that my son restored last year:

Thanks guys that helps a lot, I found a brochure that come up when you search online and it shows full mudguards on It which made me think it would have been another model, I also have the original brooks saddle, the leather is in a bad state of repair but it may be restorable at some point, does anyone know much about the coloured stripes on these bikes? They all seem to be slightly different and I haven't seen any others with this yellow which makes me think it may not be original?

Thanks again
