Just some info I thought you guys might be interested in.

 

Noticed on my service history booklet on Tuesday that my car has been re-registered at some point. Reg differs from the at new reg.

 

I also wanted to try and confirm that the car hasn't been clocked. I have some old HPI reports in the history which don't raise alarm but I know how slippery the traders can be at recreating documentation or removing receipts etc. from a cars history.

 

I got in touch with the previous owner but spoke to the guys Dad who to be honest was a miserable fucking Manc!!! Nothing new there then! Sorry if any of you lot are born and raised in Manc Land but my experiences with most people from Madchester is the majority are right miserable bastards!

 

He told me his son wasn't in from work until about 8pm so I left my number but no phone call.

 

So I rang DVLA and asked them if they could tell me why the reg was different. Cherished transfer which is not initally anything to worry about. My Soup had a private plate on when I viewed it but the owner wanted the plate back on selling the car. So you get a stamp on the MOT stating the new reg from DVLA.

 

Very helpful woman at Swansea told me that if you send in a funfer(5 squid) to this address...

 

Information from Records

DVLA

Swansea

SA99 1AJ

 

stating the make, model, reg and confirming that you are the registered keeper with your address etc. You can receive all the known info from them about your vehicle since the day it was born! Good effort!

 

So I'm sending off for it. Will let you know when I get it how comprehensive it is. Can't be a bad thing if it is good history and must bolster your value and chances of selling should that sad day ever come.

 

My Bro is waiting in the wings aswell, he might want to send off about his Renault Alpine.

 

I did that Tim when I got the car £5 well worth it, I put a private plate on my 200sx,and when I sold it the DVLA give you another plate not the same one that it was when first registered!My Z has has 3 private plates on so that means it has has a total of six different plates!

 

------------------

Yeah I must concur the DVLA are much more helpful than they used to be - it used to take 4 weeks to get through on the phone then some Welsh nutcase would be a load of none-help.

They were spot on when I called em aboot me SORN.

Funny my car doesn't seem to exist according to AutoTrader (the use a vehicle checking thing before they allow you to advertise it) and according to DVLA the licence plate belongs on a Mitsi Pajero !

Its coz its imported and they fucked the registration up.

Either that or its stolen LMAO!

We had a Porsche 911 a few years ago. F911YCK, when we got insurance it said it was a 1.0l Yoko or something.

 

I know my car has had loads of different number plates, at least 6. I still have about 3 of the transfer sheets and from recipts from over the years.
