I've no idea. Looks like a Humber Piglet to me. (and they have an 'ugliest ship' catagory
over on the seven seas site... looks like this might take the ugliest wheeled thingie prize!)

well, I think this has shattered all previous records for a stumper, it actually has remained unguessed for half the day!!! I did some digging to come up with this one, and it wasn't too common an AFV. I also threw a curve at you guys with the picture I chose. hints to follow if it remains unguessed

the reason I voided it so quickly was because I couldn't see your name anywhere on the forum so I thought you had gone and wouldn't be back for a couple hours at least, and in the meantime quite a few people would have seen it. but you changed that with your speedy removal!!

ok, here's where my hint comes in. the picture I have up for the quiz is only the prototype, so it is stock, nothing added.
