Jamondo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Does anyone know if there a way to trace the ownership history of a vehicle? I'm trying to find out what colour green my 90 is, which I was fairly sure was eastnor green until I had some mixed. It's close, really close, but still not quite right. Anyway, I took it to the body shop that does a lot of work for us, and the lads there say it looks a lot like a forestry colour, which has naturally gotten me quite intrigued. They really do know their stuff so I'm inclined to believe them but it would be nice to know who owned it from when to when, as I know it has been owned by a plant hire company once upon a time. I've rambled on enough so any help much appreciated ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 If own it you should be able to request previous keepers history from dvla I think there is a small charge. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yes you can, I can't remember the form required off the top of my head but you can request at least the names of the previous owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 V888, it will cost you all of a fiver (£5). Reasons why can be quite 'light'. Personal interest of vehicle history, that sort of thing. Apply as an individual, not as a company. You shouldn't specify dates, as you want all the owners.

Jamondo Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 That's great thanks for the info, I didnt expect it to be quite so straight forward with all the data protection carp out there. Obviously private owners doesn't really mean a lot to anyone, but if there's any working history behind it, it could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndude82 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This is really interesting, I didnt realise you could potentially get all previous owners. My 110 used to be bright yellow and has an odd aerial attachment. I suspect it might be an ex-AA vehicle or something like that so it would be nice to find out.

Bowie69 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Could have been for an airfield if yellow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndude82 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 After looking at some on google I think you might be right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
