Sorry colin hadn't realized this was a serious thread(having trouble keeping up):I I hope you find it in a barn(he hasn't looked inside his yet)[:0]There are ways of finding out you know without bending the rules! have you tried contacting the dvla ? you could apply for the log book then the owner will get a letter :I
if you really want to find it perservere,you never know
Not long now ......can't wait for Christmas morning when I unwrap a HUGE box to find another smaller box within another smaller box packed with candy.....to find an envelope with ....the registration doc to this van
