‘ESO 600’ is confirmed as the Earl of Moray and was reportedly used as his personal car. The Earl retained the XK150 right into the 1980’s and even commissioned a full nut and bolt restoration by specialist, David Holmes, shortly before he sold it.

Whilst clearly an evolution of the earlier, highly regarded XK120 and XK140 models, the XK150 was comprehensively revised as the ultimate expression of the XK lineage. The windscreen was now a single piece, the bonnet wider and the windscreen had moved a full 4 inches forward to aid access. All these revisions can be noted and enjoyed in the flowing lines of ‘ESO 600’ together with its cross-spoked, wire wheels and a subtle flash of chromed brightwork. ‘ESO 600’ is finished in classic British Racing Green livery. The complementary hued green leather clad interior retains a marvellous degree of sought after originality and innate charm.
