But I don't think you can find out who owns it now, this would be a data protection issue.

could i not do one of those checks where i pay the dvla and they tell me all the keepers etc.?

[negri]

i think you need to be the registered keeper .

 

 

they send you out the previous details . dont think you can do it the way you want to

[Jubfab]

no can't be done. The request the info is if your the registered keeper.

It costs insurance companys to get this data (say for a hit and run) I think it's £15.

 

I believe if you hired a private detective they can obtain the info on your behalf but it's gonna cost. Given it's not been taxed since 2001 it's not hopeful it's still around ...

The thing is my dad sold it to a capri collector so there's a chance he might not have scrapped it and it's sitting in a lock up somewhere...

Is there absolutelt no way i can find out who owns it without hiring some detective?

If you know a friendly bailif, they can do it for you.
