If you really want to know (and I'm sure you don't), there's a very good and comprehensive value calculator at Measuring Worth
The good news is that you are BOTH right, anywhere between £22 and £77 is a "right" answer for £1 in 1960. It depends on whether you take how much other stuff you could buy for your pound, how much it's worth relative to the average wage, or any of half a dozen other ways of measuring that very non- linear illusion called money.
They also did very foreshortened carriages and diesels. I suspect the set with two brakevans is not the original configuration.
