Simple question really....

How do I find out the name and address of the person that holds the title to N10YCK? I want to buy it back off them!!

Thanks

Alex

    Currently on a Smart Roadster...?

    What does N10YCK actually say/spell/mean? If it was ABC 123 then yes it'd be worth chasing...

    You could write to the DVLA and say you'd likle the details for the current keeper as they kleep parking on your property at weekends?

    It holds SIGNIFICANT value to me that's all I need to say!!! Yes I still think it's on a Smart Roadster (originally KR04EEV).

    Could be something as simple as his first car reg?

    My FIL is still chasing the bike plate he had as a lad in the 60's. He knows where it is and what its on but the bloke wont sell :(

    As this is a money saving site, wouldn't it be cheaper to change your name to match the reg on your own car?......:rotfl:

    Or ..report it to the police saying something like the number plate has fallen off the car down my road and would like to hand it back etc etc :D
    Have a nice day :)

    So your advice is to phone the police and lie to them? What if they ask for the number plate to be brought to the police station? Not a good idea.
