Can we find Pam?
The Vauxhall Cresta PA PJN 631 was first registered in Southend-on-Sea (B District) between May 1958 and July 1958. Essex Records Office may hold the original registration records – link below:

Fantastic. The first real clue!
Thank you for your e-mail of 1 December concerning vehicle licence records for Southend County Borough.
We do have the register for the registration PJN 631 (S3335 Box 5). I have checked the register for you and found that it was first registered on 6 June 1958 to what I think is an E.A. Drury of 9 Springfield Gardens, Upminster. The surname is unfortunately not very clearly written, but I think it is Drury. Assuming that it was still in the hands of the first owners, then you could possibly find the full name from the electoral register for Upminster. We do not have electoral registers for Upminster after 1948, but later ones are held at the London Borough of Havering Local Studies Library (https://www.havering.gov.uk/info/20039/libraries/683/local_studies) so you may wish to try there.
I hope that this information is helpful.
