Maybe self-propelled personal carrier?
But not a tank by any stretch of the imagination. But it would still be cool to own one.

It's like the roller-derby for tanks.

I think it's some kind of airfield equipment? Maybe for towing larger or damaged aircraft or even fuel tanks or munitions carts? Then again I don't know why they would need a Bren.
That or possibly some kind of idea for a personal patrol/security vehicle? That would account for the Bren.
Interesting picture either way, and of course Frenchy is here with more interesting photos too.

Actually, I wouldn't mind owning one of those for the nightmare traffic on the Long Island Expressway

It's a variant of the Vickers Utility Tractor:
Text I found about the version illustrated in your photo:
the original 1936 Vickers Carden-Loyd Utility Tractor.
And now you know!
