Chris, sorry to hear of your problems, and problems they certainly are!!
Whoever you bought the van from is probably laughing all the way to the bank,sorry to be so cynical.
No paperwork "Usually" means STOLEN.
Even if it is not stolen, it is probably 2.5mtrs wide so you will need a commercial vehicle to tow it legally, something like a Sprinter van.
You cannot tow it legally with ANY normal car or 4X4 available in the UK, none have a GVW of 3500kg, which is the minimum you need.

thanx for your reply Damien. I know the guy I bought it off, sort of, and he assures it wasn't stolen. that's why I bought it from him, on trust. I just need to decipher the info that is stamped on the chassis to work out what year it is, please there must be another tabbert owner out there that can point me in the rite direction. thanx again mate

you could try Lewis Leyland Motors Insurance Services on 01931 714417. I think they do pretty much any kind of imported van. No idea what their premiums are like though.
