Hi, can anyone help me get my vin from the reg?
I had recently been offered one of my old cars back and decided to take the plunge. HOWEVER he said that he still cannot find the logbook and when I searched online it would seem I’m still the old keeper from back in 1996.
I contacted dvla who were friendly but not very helpful) and despite me being able to give all the details from when I owned it they are saying it doesn’t match records and I need to re apply.
To reapply I need the vin number but the tag was on the old front panel and is no longer with the car (yup I was young back then and we barely even gave people the logbooks when we sold cars in the day)
I sold the car on in 2001 ish but I do wonder if I gave him the v5 then or not? I’m guessing not due to the dvla saying the last keeper was in 96 etc either that or he didn’t post it and he has genuinely lost it?
Either way can anyone help me get the reg from the vin? I’m happy to provide pics of the car and even give the full engine number etc to prove I am the owner. I cannot seem to get this information online and have even paid for checks that haven’t given me the full vin.
Please pm me if you can help?
Thank you
