Would have been interesting getting it out of the cellar......
chap I used to work with was a tank driver in BAOR in the 1960's. He managed to "lose" gears and brakes on both tracks on a Conqueror tank (approx 64 tons) while going downhill in a German village. The tank ploughed into a house at the bottom of the hill and dropped into the cellar.
The house was demolished in an attempt to get the tank out, but it couldn't be done - just not enough access room.
In the end the craned the gun and turret out, and then cut the hull up with torches
It was no great loss - the Conqueror was too heavy to be any use anyway
Biting the hand that feeds IT
