Found this - you don't live in London do you?

If the car was towed, the police should know about it.

Definately contact CAB - they will be able to advise on who to contact about the car, give advice on where you stand with the debt and also your options for paying.

i have received a letter from the police yesterday whihc seems to be a standard letter informing me of the crime ref number , looks like thats all there going to do, it is really awkward for me to contact the CAB at the moment due to me working 8:30 till 5:30 mon - fri, and to book an appointment i would have to take a day off work which with christmas approaching may be very hard

I think we can all understand that. However, could you not take a packed lunch in on Monday, eat it during your short breaks and try to make the call to CAB during your lunch hour (break)?

Was the car parked on the public highway when it was towed? If so, I might be worth contacting your old local council. If it wasn't taxed, then they may have received a compaint and had it towed? Check the council's website for the number to call.
