As above I am trying to trace the ownership details of this Lancia Fulvia as I would like to try and buy it back!
I sold it around 1993 to someone in Southampton.
On the DVLA system so hopefully not scrapped!
I cannot get any joy from the DVLA so need help from someone who has access to this information.
Happy to remunerate as appropriate!

The government MOT checker shows it as having been last taxed in 1993 and has no MOT data for it at all, so I would think it's probably been scrapped or, if it has survived, it's not been used on the road for 27 years.

There was a V5 change in 1999 so it was evidently sold on by your buyer. Might still be out there.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but my old E12 520 is still showing on the DVLA site (shows as being untaxed since 1993, and no MOT details held) , and I know for a fact it was scrapped off, because I scrapped it off.

I'm not trying to put a dampener on your hopes - Just give you a reality check/heads up.

Good luck with it.

To balance the voice of gloom above, I put out a similar request on here ref my GT6. The current owner popped up and we exchanged emails, so it can work.

The dvla used to offer a service where you could ask for details of the V5 of a particular vehicoe. Sadly they dont do this anymore, but it was great to know the previous owners when you bought a car

"The voice of gloom" ? confused - It's a reality check, nothing more, nothing less.

The OP is under the impression that because his old car is still showing on the DVLA site, it still exists.

All I've done is point out that that is not necessarily the case, by checking a car that I scrapped off in 1993, that is still showing on the DVLA site.

Did I say he's little or no chance of finding his old car? - No!

Did I wish him good luck with his search for his old car? - Yes!

I''m struggling to see how that makes me: "The voice of gloom"!

Exactly. DVLA hold many records for vehicles that haven't existed for 30 or more years, so it's hardly unreasonable to point this out.
