marc the only thing you will find is make and colour and when it last changed hands
rac vehicle data check
DVLA vehicle enquiry
Ray
its the RAC website by the way I think
thanks guys 

DVLA website is more up to date, but you need to know the manufacturer before it will let you see.
Edit: and one more thing, if you have a good reason the dvla can be persuaded to let you know the name and address of the owner. A list of kind of
good reasons acceptable is here:
