Typically, they wind up with my company - www.copart.com - we have 14 yards in the UK, and we are the world's largest reseller of insurance claim vehicles.  You *might* be able to contact your local yard, give them the reg plate info, and ask them to look it up.

However

even if it is with us, the auction is closed to dealers only.  So you would need a dealer license, or someone with dealer access to purchase it on your behalf

Good luck

i'm from the u.s but i'm sure registrations are close enough that this should help go to the registration office (court clerk in u.s) and see if they can give you the vin# (vehicle identification #) if they have it in your previous ownership records then they should be able to use that # to track down the vehicle if it still active if it went to a junk yard then they should be able to tell you that it was junked if that is the case then you will most likly never see it again they can also tell you the last registered owner of the vehicle if it doesn't violate any privacy laws if it does just get the vin # and try to get a police officer/constable to run that through the registrars office i hope this helps

my first car was a 1972 cougar xr7 and i was able to track it to a junk yard but not a specific one

Chances are, it's in a junkyard somewhere.
