[quote="James O'Neil"]Martin, It may be worth writing to DVLA, enclosing a letter addressed to the current owner of the SS, and asking whether it could be forwarded. My authority for thinking this may work is that a few years ago I stopped to assist a driver who had broken down on a very busy roundabout, and a couple of weeks later I received a letter from her, forwarded by DVLA, and thanking me. DVLA said in a covering letter that on occasion it would forward a letter addressed to the owner of a car. It's probably worth a try. Regards, James[/quote]

The first is of the original owner Albert Hely competing at Firle in 1951. The second is as she is today. LXB 295 was removed from the Mk VI and re registered to the new owner's (Dr. Rohan) 1969 Silver Shadow in 1984. The DVLA tax checker website indicates that the SS still exists although on a SORN and has not been MOTd for 8 years. Obviously, they are unable to give me any information regarding its whereabouts. I would like to see if it is possible to regain the original registration for my car and if anyone can assist me I would be extremely grateful. <br />Martin.
