You're going to be struggling if it's been laid up that long, no old tax disc either, old owner got a photo of it in it's prime??
Probably going to be easier to use one of the official groups than can date the bike from it's VIN and give you a certificate to that effect which you can use to get it registered with an age related plate. (VJMC, VMCC owners clubs etc)

You could always speak to the local police with "concerns" about it being stolen or whatever, they can check VIN numbers to see if it matches anything on PNC- owners or stolen reports and if you were very lucky they might even tell you the reg number if it comes up Whistle

but it may not show anyway being off the road for so long.

Google on here for Yodi, or he's got his contact details on PH.
Costs 20 quid and you get a full HPI from the VIN inc last time on road and reg number.
