Fairthorpe Atomota

You'd think that "I can't believe this hasn't been posted before" file would be getting a bit thin by now, but here's another one:

For a nice easy Rookie point, what is it and when is it from?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

1957 ?

Could be, yes.
It was actually offered between 1956 and 1959.
At least 2 were made because that's how many are known to survive today!
Here's a picture of one or two of them!:

I'm glad you're pleased I tried. I'm always surprised how few rookie puzzles seem to get attempted, although I have no idea about most of the cars shown.

Anyway, did I just miss the end of the name - Atomota?
