Is there any way to find out more info about your bus it

I've done the plate decoder which was interesting but i wonna find out more
What i do know is it is from california usa had the same owner for 40 years. It came to UK about two years ago and has had 3 owners here inc me. The first owner for about a year and used it as a coffee machine[[/color]

the second just a few months. This chap striped it down resprayed it due to a knock and dent it had front passenger side.

This is why the second owner had it as he owned a garage and spray shop. He then stored it im his garage for a few months till i purchased it. I have bef and after pics. I didn't realise the reflectors were factory standard till i noticed something about it on the decoder info.
Id love to find out more about its early life how can i go about it.

tracing the history in the uk is easy enough you can request it from the dvla and pay £5 for the previous owners addy's - tracing american history is harder, i tried to find out about mine but came to a halt, i even wrote to the last owner in san fransisco enclosing e-mail addy phone number etc but had no joy, i'm unsure if the americans have the facility to trace the vehicle off it's original american number plate but if you find out let me know.

That's interesting.
I obviously have info from the chap who owned it bef me but if i could find out who had it bef him i could then possibly find out more as this person was prob the one who imported it. Can the dvla tell me all 2 previous UK owners and addresses then i could then do as u did and write a letter.

yes, you need a form V888 it asks why you want the info, you reply that you are the registered owner and are building up a history of the vehicle, they will let you have the previous owners adresses to write to.
