Help if you can.
I have a 1990 998 Mini and would like to complete the history file for it.
Having just spent 3 years restoring it back to almost factory build state.
I Know the previous 2 owners which gets me back to 2004.
What I would like to know the supplying garage and previous 3 keepers.
Yes I have tried DVLA but they are about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.
The car has lived in the Birmingham B76 Walmley area certainly from 2004 to 2014.
According to the registration plate it has a South London or Brighton registration but that seems to mean little these days.
Reg No is G544 OGP.
If any one has any info I would appreciate it.
Many Thanks

Hi, i went through dvla no problem, just download form v888 from their website, fill in and send to them with a cheque for five pounds and you will receive all the previous v5,s that were filled in by the new owners including the supplying dealership. In the case of my 89 mini 30 it was a large a4 folder with lots of paperwork. Money well spent.

Forgot to mention, you must be the current registered owner.

Yes tried that this is the response from DVLA (well part of it ):-
"we cannot release the information that you requested . The reason(s) you have provided for wanting the names and addresses of the previous keepers of you vehicle does not meet reasonable criteria that allows us to release this information"
My reason was to complete the history of the car from first registration until 2004.
It appears that if I wanted to pursue a keeper over court proceedings or accident or abandon vehicle I could have it but not as the current owner / keeper.
I have resent the V888 but filled in Part 'B' this time we will see if this yields results. I will keep you all posted.

Hi , all i said was that i was restoring my car and wanted all her history for nostalgic purposes. Perhaps your original wording must have upset them, good luck. Terry.

Hi Terry.
Well its been over 2 weeks now so it was not rejected. I remain hopeful, if I get the details I will post back on how I filled in the form.
Of course it could just have 'been on a bad day'!
Paul.

Argh!!!!!!
What the ...*
Just had a response back from DVLA and I still cannot be allowed access to previous keepers nor the first registering Garage.
More or lees the same response as before.
So have other people managed to get this information out of DVLA as it is quite obvious that others have managed this.
It would appear that the only way I can get this is to abandon my car on next doors front lawn and get them to start court proceedings whereupon DVLA will release the information to the neighbors at which point I can collect the car and it will all be settled out of court.
Very frustrated and Mr Angry from Andover!
