Any ideas?

All the DVLA website says is "contact the DVLA"

Have you nicked it or has someone given it you to settle a debt or
what? Or should I mind my own business?


I found it.


I don't know if there is anything special about cars, but I'd imagine
the DVLA would refuse to register it in your name unless you have legal
ownershop. Things that can be traced back to a previous owner aren't
immediately yours even if you find them [1]. Of course, the previous
owner may no longer exist or even want the item in which case I think
the police have to formally assign you ownership.
