I don't know if you still can (with GDPR and all that) but you could apply to the DVLA if you had a reason to get the details of the owner and location.

You certainly could in 2002, thats how I tracked down MGJ originally. For a fiver, the DVLA would forward an (open) letter to the registered owner...providing it was inoffensive. But I'm pretty sure they don't do it any more..."its not a service we offer' was all I could get out of them a couple of years ago. It was like talking to a broken record. And thats before all this latest madness started up.
So good luck with that. You need a friendly copper..or private car park owner..who can do the business. Good luck.
Have you googled the reg number..a picture of it comes still in Scotland in 2017.

I would try posting on VW forums to see if anyone that might know the owner could forward your details.

Thanks everyone for your help, that's the one in the picture sounds like it may be up in the Perth area.

Did you ever own it yourself? Or know a previous owner?
That DVLA link says you can ask about a vehicle that used to be registered in your name...
'L' plate would make it a 'crossover' year between Early and Late Bays, but there are plenty of crossovers on this forum:

Might be worth signing up and posting. It's very active.
