No that's not him.

I did not know the name Tommy Oates, but afther a quick search it seems he was the first to import a car to New Zealand, but he did not built one him self. also it seems that he was the first to be fined for speeding!  :D

I have found a mention of a man named Dennison who made automobiles in New Zealand at the turn of the last century.
Him?
