For comparison: this carrier, not as complete (as it is missing part of it's front armour), made UKP 28,000 at a recent auction in the UK:

1944 Bren Gun Carrier Reg. No. 609 UXC Chassis No. 29264 In the current ownership since 1970 and originally purchased for giving rides at rallies. The Ford V8 petrol engined full track is a restored example that is complete with original toolbox and tools. Its film credit is a role in the 1996 film Evita, Maddona, starring as Eva Peron has ridden in this very vehicle during filming in Budapest. Offered for sale with V5 documentation, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow at the supermarket and only available due to wear and tear on the owner rather than the vehicle. Estimate £28,000 - £32,000

£28k plus Vat and commission............. Makes it a mid £30k carrier that needs some front armour work.

I think that would have been owned by a chap called Dusty Miller as I recall him doing Carrier rides at some of the MVCG shows back in late Seventies onward. The sign on the side reminds me.
