Car registration details
Here's one for the font of all knowledge.
My father-in-law, who past away many years before I met my wife, owned a Talbot 14/45 during the period 1946 to 1948. We are trying to get some more
information about it. All we have are some side view pictures but no registration number. I have tried the DVLA and they are absolutely no help at
all they just hide behind the Data Protection Act.
I think during that period and up to some time in the 1970's these sort of records I believe were kept in local DVLA offices in hand written
registers much like births etc. Does anybody know if these records are kept anywhere.

I assume that you've tried the Talbot Owners Club?
