How do I contact previous owners ?

[pony]

Hi how do I contact all the last 11 owners of my ex-bruv spec Sport ?
And any pointers on best way to make contact and how to go about it ?

[rich318i]

is that a joke?

[pony]

Is a serious question

[rich318i]

why on earth would you really want to get in contact with all the last owners about the car?

[leeparkes]

To show them how magnificent it is now in Pony's hands.

LOL

I think because
1. whether they can tell me more about its history
2. Could give me any history or receipts should they have any
3. I want to know whether they were Yuppies or bruvs ?

[bss325i]

To be fair, it's not unusual or unheard of.

You can apply to the DVLA for coppies of all the old V5 log books which have their name and address on.

[pacerpete]

Shooting the previous owners might be a better idea !

[leeparkes]

That could be his plan! but what with?

[bigbird76]

You could contact the last 11 owners and one of them will have a spare key for your car and then you can kiss it goodbye.. Ever thought of that ?

[pony]

Who says they have a spare key ? Anyway I have steering lock.

hopefully the interest in contacting all previous owners to see if they were also anal stop at just the car and does not extend to your girlfriend

[bigbird76]

pony im just saying you dont want to encourage un necessary attention to the car you have spent so much money on.

I have obtained the previous owner information from DVLA on my 325i. Fill in the required form and include a cheque for £5 and a 'legitimate reason' for wanting the information, I said I was restoring a classic car and wanted to find out if it had any famous owners (just make something up, sound genuine, not like some weirdo who is going to harass previous owners).

4 weeks later an envelope dropped through the letter box with everything the DVLA held on my car. Owner information (so where the car has lived), various private plates it had, 'DJ1' was one, totaling 20 odd pages of photocopied documents dating back to '86. You would be surprised what they keep in Swansea. Really adds to the history/story of the car IMO.

sound genuine, not like some weirdo who is going to harass previous owners.

So basically, lie.

[Cloggy Saint]
