I think that's on the Eriboll estate that was once owned by Alan Clark MP who served in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet. He was a bit of a military buff (wrote various books including "The Donkeys" about WW1 British army leadership and a book on operation Barbarossa) and was really into motor vehicles. He inherited a fortune including the estate from his father. He had a huge car collection so I guess it was something he bought and had transported there.

Edit; just found this article, it mentions the t34 and two Saracen armoured cars;

The estate is now owned by a Danish billionaire.
