When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts

It's def a Hofner 175 or Galaxie, probably just with a replacement trem.

There's a reissue version with [basically] a Jag trem

I don't even think it's a replacement trem. There's a flimsy chromed metal plate (I may still have it) that covers the trem mechanism and I think it's been taken/left off to make it easier to replace strings. My Höfner was left in my friend's house when he split with his wife and I never got it back but I still have bits of it he didn't need for a refret.

OK, so this is weird. Maybe mine was a mash-up. It had all these fittings:
