The fact that the registration didn't come up on the search doesn't mean that DVLA doesn't hold a record for it.
We were given a 1952 Austin Somerset last year that had been off the road since 1978. It had a very early computerised V5 from 1977, but didn't show up on the online search facility. However, after some prodding, it turned out that DVLA has a deeper level of records and it WAS in those.
After some frustration, we have a new V5C and the original registration.
