If someone applies for a new V5 without the new keepers slip then the DVLA send a letter to the current keeper asking them if they object. If they say don't send a letter back with an objection then they will issue a new V5 to a new keeper and send out a fine to the old keeper for failure to notify a change of keeper. So the car has been in the custody of another person for about 2 years, who also has a legitimate V5 for it, and I have no paperwork and no way of proving I ever owned or own the car. Speaking with an ex-chief constable earlier he said there was literally no point pursuing it with the police!

Well the V5 I have is to an old address, but a family friend lives there still and I would have thought they would forward any post for me to me. They tell me they cant remember the last time any post came for me.

Well ive tracked down the person who has received the rent and they will be refunding all of this to me, so financially I am not at a loss now. Just need to find out what happened to the car now! escortmad79, I saw this picture also. It's the one used in the ebay listing when I very first bought the car. The V5 number I have is no longer valid with the DVLA which means another V5 has been applied for. I'll get on to the DVLA with a V888 form and see who the new keeper is.

I was renting it from the caudwell group, big company and all above board with an agreement signed etc. Im sure I will get some rent money back, but its so odd for a car just to be disposed of like that. Ill speak with all the garage owner tomorrow and im sure will find out more.

I have been renting a garage in stoke on trent for over 2 years to store my Cortina as ive been in and out of the country and not be able to continue the project. I go to pick up the car today and the garage block and flats look very different. Turns out the properties have been sold on and in the process my car has been removed. My key still works in the lock but the garage has someone elses property in it! I know im going to get plenty of I told you so comments about not touching a car for so long. I know at this point im very unlikely to get it back but I wanted to ask the question. If its been legitimately purchased then I'd prefer to pass on the keys and significant amount of history to the new owner and then ill chase up the property owners to get back the money they received for it when they sold it. If its just sat, unloved, in a yard somewhere then I would very much like it back! So its a mk2 Cortina 1300 deluxe in black, originally blue. Registration BGN740H

yeh, enlighten them with a blowtorch. thats just full on ignorant imo

both of my cars are from central london by the looks of it. Makes sence, just a shame ive taken them so far from their home!

ooooow, big shock to sum1 new to the OSF world to find that 29.1mpg on a 60mph run is condsidered good! Id hate to know what sum of u must be getting to the gallon!

I love rat look, just remember to chrome EVERYTHING that is under the bonnet, in the boot or just generally not on show.

Radiation from speed cameras directly effects human brain activity. Research has shown that all speed camera designs emit radiation similar to a mobile phone but averaging over 130 times the quantity. This study, as a suplement to a conclusive study earlier this year regarding mobile phone radiation, has concluded that remaining within a radius of 300m from a speed camera for more than an hour has the same effect as a heavy nights drinking. The government are still to comment on the consequences of this study, but it would seem that there will now be no argument for the retainment of speed cameras. Ow how i wish this were true, would solve the problem of speed cameras pretty easily. Here's another one: "speed cameras banned due to DVLA employees 'misuse' of pictures containing children"

if i get my new cortina on the road ill be there.

a sierrrrra, or an Opel Monza

ok, for some provisional upgrades i was hoping to find out what parts are easy to find upgrades for and what parts are interchangable with other cars in order to get better braking and handling. Ive got fairly easy access to jellymould parts and also mk3 capri stuff plus a few others. Im trying to sort better brakes and suspension before i change the engine.
