NBD, but need help with info

[Toonster]

I was on holiday in London the last few days and walked into a shop selling secondhand guitars, I saw a guitar that looked cool, played great, and sounded good too.. Easy decision, maybe a bit impulsive, but I can´t seem to find any info on the internet, it is a Vox bass, probably made in 1965. It was made in Italy in a factory where the productioncost was too high so they moved production to EKO..
On the pickguard it says Escort, but that seems to be a Vox amp also
Anyone some more info? I am curious..

a guitarist that played with my parents for a little while had one of those, It had a bowed neck or something and was just a wallhanger.. I always thought it was one of the coolest looking basses ever! and that is all I know..

Thanks guys, some great info!
This one also was a bit bowed, but it was fixed by taking some wood at the end of the neck, hope it stays sttraight for a long while.. And there is al serious crack from the pickup selector to the pick-up, I didn't see it as a problem, but should I fix it somehow, or is it okay.. Oh there are also some smaller cracks, maybe something with humidity?

Built by Crucianelli for Vox. Also known as the Lynx. Looks like it also came with a Venetian cutaway as well as the Florentine you have.
