Yep, but at least I have the rego number now and I will at least get the vehicle details VIN etc. Now I just need to contact the guy I sold it to originally, might send him a letter.

Nope, car hasn't been registered since September 2000 which is what I'm worried about :-(

time for a trip to see your friend in gaol.

The fact it hasnt been re-registered means its probably sitting in storage somewhere awaiting retoration... or its been recycled into beer cans. 9 years ago? its 50/50 i reckon.

I've hit a snag though, the car is still registered in my name, the person I sold it to and then they on sold it have never transferred it into their name. This is gonna be a tough one me things.....
If the Car is still Registered in your name, why haven't you been recieving the renewals for it?

In NSW you can legally track a car via the Freedom Of Information Act, (FOI) through the RTA. The cost is $35 (IIRC) and a 2 month wait. The records only date back to 1982 though. I did this about 6 months ago to tack an engine number for a particular chassis.
