VAT778H - Help locating a Traveller

Hi all,

Sorry to jump right in at the deep end, but does anyone know the whereabouts of a trafalgar blue (as was) Traveller, vrm VAT778H? According to the DVLA it is still alive and taxed . . .
I would dearly love to track this car down. My family owned it back in the early eighties when it underwent a minor (excuse the pun) restoration and had a home-made rear roll-over bar fitted to allow the fitting of rear inertia-reel seat belts. I remember touring the UK in the car, five up plus dog and trailer.

If anyone can help please do!

Kind regards

Toby

if you won't manage to find it form here, I'm sure I read somewhere if you pay a fiver to DVLA and a good reason they will tell you where it is

Thanks Frank, not sure idle curiosity is a good enough reason though!

Needs to be a 'good' reason - such as - 'it was parked on my land and I want to Fine the owner!' - or - 'it bumped into my car and sped off without stopping'. That sort of thing. You can try the 'used to be my car - and I have some original documentation/history I want to pass to the new owner' - but not sure if that will work! It should - but sadly it may not.

Almost 4 years later and still searching! Well done !! Looks like it has a comprehensive resto photobook on display.
