[QUOTE="giraffeinbath, post: 604503, member: 554"] You used to be able to apply to the DVLA for a list of previous owners. I did it for our bay and my Ghia and in both cases received an envelope full of scrubby photocopied documents that at least provided a time line with the name and the addresses at the time of the registration handover as a starting point. There was a charge for it but I don't remember it being crazy but you need to have a 'valid reason' to apply for the information. I just stated that it was a classic vehicle and I was researching the history. That was a few years ago (10 ? ) so I guess the DVLA may have tightened up on providing the name and contact details of previous owners for anybody that asks (as they should!) particularly in the current climate of data security, but it would be worth investigating whether it's still a possibility.
