This beautifully restored factory RHD XK150 was despatched on 15 December 1958 to distributor Sagers of Salisbury and Bulawayo, (Southern) Rhodesia and sold new on 30 January 1959 to Mr A.G. King of Northern Rhodesia. Documentation supports it being owned in 1980 by Ross Burgess of Launceston, Australia and sold to Rob Rowland in Victoria. In 1984 it was sold again at which point the car was reported to be in very original condition. The current owner acquired the car in 1989. The car has undergone a concourse standard restoration commencing in 2000 and finished in February 2015 by the highly respected Geoff Leake Restorations (the two missing rear over-riders missing are ordered and will accompany the car). Originally in cream livery with biscuit interior the elegance of this car is now reflected in midnight blue with pale grey interior trim providing a superb acquisition for the discerning collector.
