Gary,

I'm just guessing, but it looks like a variant of the Swedish Bandvagn 206 (Bv 206):

Oh, I thought you were talking about the Kenworth K200 tractor; but those little armored vehicles are cool, too.

A variant of the Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier (ATTC) ?

Typical Kiwi's always jumping on the Band vagn !

The front door hinges look like the Bronco ones, and so does the back end of the towing unit...

On a side note, the vehicle pictured in Gary's post has 5 roadwheels + 1 idler per side, contrary to the BV206S (4+1).

suspension doesn't seem to look anything like the Bandvagn.

After looking at it again, I believe Frenchy and Namabiiru are correct, since I failed to notice the difference in the number of road wheels and some other details.

You're welcome Gary. The presence of these Broncos in NZ has probably something to do with this :
