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 .....

Hello

Yes definitely a Vickers-Carden-Loyd Utility Tractor, also used by Belgians and the Netherlands (East Indies):-

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!

So in kindness I will not tell you ;D

I loved the guy in the jaunty hat on the pedal bike, stuck in the middle of the convoy at the start! "Hello dear, I seem to be in the army this arfter-noon, what-what!"

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

I love these little 'tankette' things. :D
