He said: "It's been long seven year itch really.

"We've had to contact the authorities in the UK, contact the authorities in Jersey and we've also had to write to the last registered owners in Guernsey.

"But we couldn't do that directly so we've had to write 'to whom it may concern' and then ask the Driving and Licencing Authority to pass those on."
