Question for BWL.
I know of a Mk1 GTi in a battered old shed, under a cover, which looks like its been there a while. I knocked on the front door of the derelict style house-no answer. Knocked on a few neighbours' doors. Lady answers and says that two builders own the house, but they've been abroad for at least two years! She thinks the Golf was a previous tenant's car. Sooooo, if I was to 'make a claim' on the 'abandoned' car, ie; apply for the logbook, where would I stand regards ownership etc? If the DVLA write to (possibly) the empty house and no-one declares ownership, could I legally have the car?
