Good question.. I think the answer to that is about 1960.. Not sure..Would have to google that.. The XK series was the first,with a 144 cu.in inline 6..
Just googled wiki..
Wiki told me that it is actually an American model,,which the Aussies built in their own factories,,but the station wagon had a shorter rear body length,because they were afraid of damage ,in drains,etc,on the rough outback roads..Incidentally,,the American version began in 1960 too..
