as the title says.

I'm sending off the V888 form from the DVLA (and a £5 cheque!) to obtain ALL the previous owners of the cars details.

I'm then going to write to them all to see if and what information they have.

Anyone done this?

lol, there was a thread on pistonheads about the v888 form and a few thought it was spooky! most said they had done it and had great results! they'd been sent spare keys, history, parts, photos, all sorts.

a friend of mine did it with his mk1 escort he's currently restoring and a previous owner who had it 15 years ago got in touch and said he had the RS rear bench seat in the loft for the car. My mate couldn't belive it as it was missing the rear bench. Anyway, the guy gave it him, and some parts he still had plus old photos.

so no ones tried it with their williams then?

i'd personally love it if someone got in touch about a car i used to own!
