Need any help filling your second unit?
I think that legally the 3rd parties who lost their stuff would claim against the ex-tenant as he was custodian of it and had a duty of care to pay the rent etc. I don't think the ex-tenant has any recourse against the farmer unless he can document the value of any items the farmer has sold.

Pretty much what I thought. Never need any help filling storage space! ;D We have only known we are getting it a week or so and already The Plan shows it's going to be full... |

The Volkswagen Beetle underwent significant changes for the 1967 model. While the car appeared similar to earlier models, much of the drivetrain was noticeably upgraded. Some of the changes to the Beetle included a bigger engine for the second year in a row. Horsepower had been increased to 37 kilowatts (50 hp) the previous year, and for 1967 it was increased even more, to 40 kilowatts (54 hp).
On US models, the output of the electrical generator was increased from 180 to 360 watts, and upgraded from a 6-volt to a 12-volt system. The clutch disc also increased in size, and changes were made to the flywheel, braking system, and rear axle. New standard equipment included two-speed windscreen wipers, reversing lights, a driver's armrest on the door, locking buttons on the doors, and a passenger's side exterior mirror.
In February 1967, inventor Don P. Dixon of San Antonio, Texas filed and was ultimately granted a patent for the first air conditioning unit specifically designed for the Beetle, which were soon offered by US dealerships.[14]
The 1967 model weighed 840 kg (1852 lb), which was a typical weight for a European car at this time. Top speed was 130 km/h (81 mph).
For 1968, in accord with the newly-enacted U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, the clear glass headlamp covers were deleted; the headlamps were brought forward to the leading edge of the front fenders, and the sealed-beam units were exposed and surrounded by chrome bezels. At the same time, Beetles sold outside North America received the same more upright and forward headlamp placement, but with replaceable-bulb headlamps compliant with ECE regulations rather than the U.S. sealed beams |

I think you mean Mr Edward Trebus Mr Edmund Zygfryd Trebus Always remembered that as he had the same first name as me! ;D Wish my middle name was as cool as his though! On topic. I was trying to claim a metro that was dumped at the side of the road once. I went down the correct channels of applying to the DVLA who wrote to the registered keeper. Never heard back from them though, and the car disapeared a few weeks later anyway. |

you may not want to say so, but what polo is this? does it justify the hassle when a good mk2 or 3 can be had for 400 quid or so? if its a mk1 then they are worth more, but also rot more so being stood up outside wont have done it any good at all.. mines a rot box and has been stored in a relitively dry climate... It's a mk1 on a w |

best thing to do is go chance an offer (clanman and L_D_I) if he says no then you lost nothing because they would have contested reregistration anyway.

It's not abandoned, it's someones car that they have at one of their properties. If you apply for a logbook even if they send you one, it's not your car - it would be effectively theft. He'd need only goto the Police and he'd get it straight back..... and you would have some explaining to do! This is true but in practice the police will tell you it's a civil matter that you need to take up through the courts. Legally the car is not yours even if you have the logbook. The owner can get it back from you through the courts and if you have sold it he'll expect fair market value for the car and his costs paying. Charlie |

Take a load of photos before you do any work on it. Then "reasonable value" would be weight of scrap and wouldn't be worth claiming it back.

Bottom line is with or without the logbook you can still get done. There is a way though.
Apply for the logbook in a random name at a random address... preferably somewhere nowhere near you (abandoned house etc), when log book arrives send it off again in YOUR name/address as the new owner and write yourself out a receipt from the previous mysterious owner than you made up. At this point there is very little they can do as you can claim to have bought it innocently after seeing it advertised.
If you apply for the log book in your name, like many others have said, the rozzers will come knocking if reported stolen. Some people are very lucky and get away with it but its honestly not worth a criminal record otherwise. Getting nicked is not fun.

As I understand it you will still lose the car if it is stolen even if you bought it in good faith. |
