That's very specific! The specific answer, however, is: no

Ah, had it been made in Slough, I might have had an idea of what it was.  However, as it was not, then I don't have a clue!

Sorry this one's been neglected.
Yes, the car is named after the place where it was built
Not Ford V6-engined - in fact, the proposed engine was one of the most interesting aspects of this car

Is a known maker or an obscure one?

Well, you can find references to this manufacturer, so I guess it is known - although this was the only automotive project it attempted
Not from Halifax though...

Is the place a big city?
