How can I find the owner from a Reg mark?
I do have a genuine reason for this.
Ages ago I was looking for private plates and noticed that the one I wanted was (at that time) retailing at £32,000 (yes 3 zeros!),so I went looking for a variation of the plate and it turns out that its actually a normal run of the mill, standard issue Reg mark.
So I spoke to DVLA about this and they said if you can find the owner of the vehicle and they agree to having the reg changed, all it will cost you is the £80 transfer fee.
So, I WANT TO FIND THE OWNER!!!
Does anyone know how I can find this out from the reg mark alone?

Dont think you can mate (as a private individual), would be a bit of a security issue if you could just quote a reg number and get the owners address

FORD
Model FIESTA GHIA CVT
Body type 5 DOOR HATCHBACK
Colour WHITE
Fuel type PETROL
Date manufactured 31 December 1990
Number of previous owners 4
Last owner change 22 September 2000
so that cuts it down a bit
you just have to look for white ford fiesta

I know a bird who works for the police
In fact, she actually (ab)used her powers to find my address to send me a Valentines card a while back. Hmm, why dint I think of that before.
Until then - anyone having 'relations' with a copper.

^ that's kinda reassuring, would not like to think that anyone taking a fancy to my motor can just make a note of the reg, call someone up and find out where to go and 'collect' it from

Anyone abusing PNC WILL be found out. Each transaction is logged to the users id. If the registered keeper were contacted and they took offence and reported the matter were would that leave the operator?http://archive.thisisyork.co.uk/2002/4/22/287185.html

Anyway, doesn't look like I'll be finding anything out!
