This one Spidge?

Totally understandable to read it so but Contrary to their homemade appearance those are actual type-approved military vehicles.
'Beaverette Mk.1's' Named after Lord Beaverbrook and basically lashed up for airfield/factory defence following the equipment losses by the BEF. They used to be incredibly rare in the collector world but many were 'found' scattered about in the 90's just dumped near the areas they'd defended.

Got a few pictures of units with little convoys of genuinely extemporised vehicles, I'll see if I can find 'em on the web.
