The Internet seems to think it's a 1934 Vickers-Carden-Loyd Utility Tractor, or at least one of the variants of the same.

Whether you believe the Internet? Well .....

I want a troop of them so that they can make slow, but sweeping advances over my games table :D.

Dunno what it is - but I want one! A real one. Ideal for negotiating the traffic round here.

I know where you can get one, but it would add to your Heretical sins and you would have to burn again!

Yep, looks like a 1936 Vickers Carden Loyd Utility Tractor.  Seriously up-gunned of course!

I love these little 'tankette' things. :D
