    The turret (well, the gun) looks American.

    (either that or Russian, but I'd bet on American - the similarity to the M3 Stuart)

    Hello.
    It is a Verdeja ,a spannish tank made by The Artillery Captain Verdeja.
    A single tank made and successfully tested in 1938/39.
    Verdeja invented a new caterpillars system in which the roads advance like on a rail wath avoided the caterpillars to go out.

    The turret looks very much like a Soviet one. The one used on the T-26 and the BT-5. The T-26 was used in the Spanish Civil War if I´m not mistaken, so I guess they could have nicked the turret from one of those.

    Surely some one wants to know what it is?
    It's a "one man Tank" 16" high, motor bike steering,tested and tried brfore Army Staff in 43?, would you believe it failed. Designed by "Triumph", but you have to admit, they make a great motor bike!

    Did it have any kind of armament?
    Who did it fail - did it just not run?

    I know it says Carro Americano at the bottom of the tank, but look at those narrow tracks. It looks more like a Crusader to me.

    I agree - it looks like a Christie-based tank to me, and coupled with those thin tracks it could only be a British cruiser tank of some kind.
