What did you do today?

They're not practical enough. You're just going to hit everything. Tigers and T34's are about 10 feet wide so are useable. A working gun would be a challenge and probably not a good idea. Both are tax and MOT exempt of course.

Ignoring the war aspect, both are easy on the eye, good looking designs.

I find that very practical. After everything has been hit, I'd command reverse to hit everything again.

I'm not certain about that.

Just looking at Wiki the Chieftain is only 4" wider than the Tiger at 12' and the Tiger does look quite wide in photos, although I've never seen a real one my interest being in aircraft rather than tanks. That 88mm gun would need quite a big turret ring.

Working guns are not a problem, they can be (and frequently are) added to the owner's firearms certificate. You're not allowed to own ammunition for them though.

I can imagine that conversation, and do you have a suitable size gun safe sir?

That's like owning a pint glass but not being allowed to fill it.

It would be, if a spilt pint could blast dozens of people to smithereens.

Spill a pint in my local and there may well be dozens of injuries....

Today I had to stop on a smart motorway due to a tyre/screw interface. I can assure you, it's not funny. I was lucky enough to make it to one of those laybys.
What's also quite hairy is getting out of it again and rejoin traffic, if you don't happen to have a dragster.
