it would be interesting to know a few more details.

1.
The current 'keeper' is obviously not actually in possession of the car. it begs the question- why?
if the person who has the car has bought it, or has possession of it, has it legitimately, then there should be a record.

2.
There have been a few unfortunate thefts of classic audis over the last few years. It may be that there is a connection?


2 years ago, I looked at buying a left hand drive Audi. The 'owner' had a UK mobile number, and a UK email address with an 'english' name. The reality was something very different. The story was something like- He was from one of the baltic states; the car had previously been owned by a friend of his. The friend had owed him money for work done on the car; The owner had then returned east, supposedly handing the car over to clear his 'debt'. there was no documentation.
It was all a little suspicious.
