stew72 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Has anyone owned or know of a black 986S with any of these registration numbers? I'm trying to get some history about my car. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stew72 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'd like to trace previous owners to see if I can discover any history and potentially any previous bodgery although I suspect I already know which owner is responsible for that.

You could try filling in the DVLA form for a history request. I did this for my last 987 and got a huge stack of registration changes, previous owners etc. You have to carefully note that this is to enhance your history file as an enthusiast and that you do not intend to pursue any action against previous owners etc. The main thing is to use the right wording about your reason for wanting the information. Take a look here... https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/v888-request-by-an-individual-for-information-about-a-vehicle Ah. Maybe this is not possible anymore - just found this... https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1700543 Still worth a try, 10 mins to fill in the form with a £5 cheque... I was going to do the same for my new Black Edition as I got a huge file of paperwork back previously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Its worth a shot for a fiver, worked for me earlier in the year and I likewise got a stack of paperwork, photocopy of every v5 wth every previous owners full name & address, every certificate of private plate or registration change, quite comprehensive and great for £5. I can fully appreciate the data protection legal restrictions to why this may stop happening. But on the other hand, if you are he cars current registered keeper it’s not like you’ve googled a car and are hunting for the address to nick it from.

Chaps, would really like to know exactly what you put on your request for this information.... I did it about a year ago & all I got back was a single sided sheet of A4 with the names & addresses of previous owners on. Most dissappointing I thought, especially as Most of this information had been written in the front of the service book (apart from dates of ownership changes) I've read that some people managed to get copies of the previous v5's etc but I got jack shyate!

I cant remember exactly but it was along the lines of wanting to build and maintain a comprehensive history file going back as far as possible to keep with my car as a hobbyist/enthusiast, I just tried to sound as geeky as possibly and I got a big fat envelope back. Not so sure it will work now given the recent changes I noted above, but has to be worth a few minutes of your time to try? Keep a note of what you say exactly and let us know how you get on?

CarlM Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I’ve just tried this with the DVLA a couple of weeks ago. I said I wanted to build a full history and provenance about the car for showing and display purposes. Request declined no ‘reasonable cause’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a shame I was going to do the same for my new (to me) car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I cant remember my exact wording but it was along the lines of “i would like to obtain the ownership and dvla history of my vehicle to compliment the service and history file I already have”. I certainly got more than a single side of a4 back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to piece most of mine together from the MOT's, ( I've got them all), personal registration numbers and service/repair invoices but I'm missing one. Not a big issue for me but I was curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
