If I were to ask if car 1709 is still owned by Nachligall am I risking a deluge of writs ?

Can repeating information which is already in the public domain be regarded as an infringement of the owner's right to privacy ?

Yes, make fun about it.

Log onto the new WIKI, and the car will pop up there if you do a search for the chassis number. You need to register again on that WIKI, though.
