XK150 DHC RHD chassis no 827405converted into estate in NZ
more recently converted back to standard 150DHC.
rear body section said to be off an Australia holden station wagon.
I have actually seen this car in person in NZ back in 1989

Fenn of Blackheath, London, SE3, apparently through local dealer Walters, of Bournemouth. Nothing further known until imported into New Zealand in the 1970’s and owned by Ashley Catchpole then Allan Sayer who is thought to have converted it into a station wagon By 1991 it had  purchased by Jon Chaston of Christchurch and  by 1994 it had been purchased by Peters and he was restoring it back to original he also had purchased a LHD XK150---
