Giacomo,
Google brings up a load of contact details for the DVLA.
The search shown below is for email contact but you can find the same for telephone numbers, centrally and regionally.

dvla contact - Google Search

The police will refuse you on the grounds of the DPA.

The only way is to write a surface mail letter to the DVLA explaining why you need the owners details- photos will help
...and pay the fee.

Not so.

See Post 13 http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...androver-61513
The Police confirmed they had "no issues" with the apparently abandoned vehicle - meaning it was not reported as stolen or otherwise wanted in connection with anything (crime, etc).

And a few posts further in the thread the DVLA told the OP over the phone the vehicle had not been taxed since 'whenever'.

I would suggest Antonio PMs Fern the Registration Number sooner than publish it here and the Police get innundated!

Thanks Fern - keep us informed.

That was my personal experience Tony - at my local police station-
I went there to get help from them to get in touch with the buyer of my old 1200 when I wanted to forward a special key to him.
Their response was that, as there was no crime, they could not help me and that under the DPA they could not- They suggested I contact the DVLA in writing with reasons for request and fee.

After posting on a UK forum I think I certainly won't be posting the reg plate anywhere, since unfortunately I realised that I was giving some rather criminally minded airhead enthusiasts grounds to commit a potential crime down here. Unfortunately I don't want to repeat that mistake. I've also removed pictures of the bike.

I've sent a letter to the DVLA, asking for the owners details, I've also checked on the national database and the bike is actually insured until may, as well as taxed until the end of April. That means there is actually a good chance that the owner will turn up before then to get his bike back.

I didn't mention that I work at the Hertz car rental desk at the airport, that's why I see the bike every day, and I know it's been there since last July at the very least, and its also why I know about the airport cleanup schedule.
I've asked the car park attendants to remove the bike and place it out of harms reach, we wheeled it behind the terminal building yesterday evening.
I've also informed the Police, who will direct the owner to his bike once he returns. If he doesn't then I'll see what to do,Probably make a donation to a technical high-school. I have to repeat that I myself have no claims on the bike, but I don't want to inspire anyone else , apart from the rightful owner to have any either.

Thanks everyone for your advice, you really bring back my faith in the international biker community. I have to say that after my experience with the British forum that I won't mention, I really wonder why we Italians have a reputation for being histrionic and ridiculous..

Ps . Fern you have a PM...

well I never, it is still insured according to the ASKMID!?

Bertrand - exactly!

But you were mixing them up and asking the wrong question of the wrong people.


I said in Post 4 the Police will confirm there are no 'issues' (ie. not stolen or 'wanted') with the vehicle and confirm if Road Tax is current.
I said in Post 4 the DVLA will supply the RK details, subject to 'good reason' and the fee.

Both as confirmed to have happened in the HUBB link I gave in Post 9.

Don't try to mix them, as neither organisation will do the work of the other.
