Apparently he liked XK 150s so chose this DHC for film role, but it doesn't appear to have been his. I can't ID this one further than saying it has the early small rear lights before late 59, and it's not an S (no badge on doors below quarterlight) so probably early 3.4. Grille badge colour on XK 150s doesn't appear to change colour with engine size (as it does for instance on Mk.IIs) - they all seem to be red with gold Jag head in centre. So 1960 doesn't work for this one. And an irrelevant PS - he also owned a dark green "Morris Mini Countryman" fitted with the oily bits from a Cooper S 1275.
