Hey guys,

on behalf of a family member, is there a way to track down a car, legally?

Thanks

Jake

Thanks

Could just look for it

I wish. I am trying to find a car, more more precisely a registration! Not fun

Phate · 8 Nov 2009 at 20:24

We know what car it is, it's my sisters old car.

Basically she wants it back!

Can't you request the details from the DVLA for a fee?

Defcon5 · 8 Nov 2009 at 20:30

Ask the DVLA nicely?

Sin_Chase · 8 Nov 2009 at 20:37

I asked our local DVLA (DVS) and they basically said "Fo"

Tell the police they hit your car and drove off, but you got the plate; then when they find out who it is, drop all charges, apologise to the owner for your tactics, and offer to buy the car back at somewhat more than its monetary worth.

What car is it?

Westyfield2 · 8 Nov 2009 at 22:03

Pretend you're a rogue clamping company? The DVLA will bend-over-backwards to give you the details then!

Phate · 9 Nov 2009 at 03:34

It's a Seat Ibiza that was well modified, absolutely flew!

ajstan · 9 Nov 2009 at 08:38

Oooo, why did she get rid of it if she liked it enough to then go looking for it ?

Howard · 9 Nov 2009 at 08:41

Can't she just buy another one and WELL MODIFY it (blud)?

I get around · 9 Nov 2009 at 09:54

You probably won't be able to buy it back unless you pay the new owner a good amount. How was it modified, like thousands spent on the engine?

Or was it the typical barrymobile, bodykit, beantin and airfilter, set of halfords finest alloys with some linglongs and plenty of chicken wire all over. "Yeah blud, flys now innit"

You can coax the DVLA into giving out the details ,that's assuming they haven't lost them

Write them a nice letter, then lie a bit, enclose the relevant fee and viola.

Had a custom induction system on it and had been remapped from what I could tell anyway. No it wasn't barried in any way shape or form, was completely standard, asthetics wise.

I said about getting another and she said 'it wouldn't be the same' - So yeah, we want to try and find her old one.

She got rid of it because her poxy bf convinced her it'd be the best thing to do, and he talks more crap than I do (just to give you an idea

)
