This is a photo I took many years ago.
I don't know who built it but I do know what it was based on.
Therefore one point for the vehicle this was based on and possibly another point for anyone who can provide the missing details.

I'm not asking very much for a point but there might be another on offer if someone can fill in the details.
Up to the experts now.

or Carrefour here in France!

This "tank" was based on a car that was part of the Austin Rover group.

Not a Mini-Moke?  That was before Rover joined in wasn't it?...

I'm going to give a point to Carnut as it is based on a Mini.
I really don't know who built it or any other details.
Therefore I'm going to promote it to the pros just in case they know more.

I'll place this one in the BH until someone recognises it and can complete the question of who built it.
I don't know but perhaps someone out there does.

I've found this vehicle Prototype that looks similar: MG for D-Day Light Armoured Vehicle

'Two years ago on D-day I argued that the first to arrive in occupied France was an MG-made nosepiece of an Albemarle Bomber plane. However, according to MG-historian Wiard Krook, things could have been different if MG was allowed to proceed with this Military MG.
Sometime in the 1930s Cecil Cousins, who was the foreman of the MG experimental department, worked on the project of this Light Armoured Vehicle. Its body was made of plywood and rested on the chassis of an early MG J2 Midget, judging by the Rotax headlights dating from 1932. On the other hand it could also have been the chassis of a six-cylinder F-type Magna. Anyhow, this project never went beyond the early development stages.'

I don't think they had Minis back in the 30s ;)
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
