Must be right though I didn't have the Thomson name involved.
Locked for you to fill in the other details.
I thought this one was harder than that!

Yes, this is the one described as a 'light car'.
Can you say who was going to build this car for the point (also where would be good, though that isn't part of the original question)?

No, it was Ken Wiles, but what was the name of the manufacturer that was going to build the car?
Australia is correct; where in Australia?!

Yes, Wiles Manufacturing Co Ltd is right and believe it was Mile End, Adelaide, but since that wasn't part of the original question you have your point!
Well done.
