Is it possible in the UK, to look in the register, if the car is still on the road?
In our country this is the first step to find a car.
When a car is visible, it is easy, when he is not visible, you have to go to a garage with a higher level, to see if the car is in a "sleeping" register or is "gone forever".
In our country, is gone forever, no possible way to find him, because of the scrapyard rules here.....
sometimes, when you are very lucky, a farmer is using an old car on his own property, without license plates....
According to DVLC records, the car is still on the road

Maybe it's owned by a member of the Forum or someone knows where it is now but it does look like it's roadworthy. Perhaps check out the rallies too - it may pitch up on a field somewhere Good Luck
Number rings a bell so may have seen it around East Anglia. Being an ENG registered car it came originally from Norfolk. Was it still in Norfolk when you grandfather owned it and sold it? If so you could contact the three Norfolk MMOC branches to see if it is owned by one of their members and possibly try a letter to the editor of the Eastern Daily Press and the local radio stations. David Clayton and club member Thordice Frederiksson at Radio Norfolk would be good ones to approach.
