Cheers! It is interesting I haven't had the time to read properly yet but it's funny how my car slowly migrated south from owner to owner, maybe chasing the sun lol!Saulty said
I'm glad you've got it!:cool:
It's quite interesting reading who's owned your car and where it's lived throughout it's life!
Did you find out anything interesting?

Got mine today! Had to be signed for so had to go to the bloody post office in centre of Brighton at rush hour to get it! But finally have it have found the original supplying & selling dealerships, have sent an email to dmb to see what they can make for me!Saulty said
Got back from my weekend away to find that the brown envelope that I thought contained advertising bull from a credit card company did actually contain advertising bull from a credit card company! However, there was also an A4 brown envelope that must have come on Saturday containing this letter! 😎
It also contained about 25 other pieces of paper with all the previous owners etc😎!

Ahh okay that's cool, I got the letter saying it would be with me shortly so hopefully have it soon!Saulty said
I does tell me the supplying dealer, although I already knew who they were as I have the original service book and original rear plate. Most of the other stuff is run of the mill stuff you would expect to see but it does show every change, including change of address. Strangely, somebody bought it in 1989 but they don't show up as a previous owner and somebody bought it in 1996 but they don't show up as a registered keeper. I assume these are dealers or something!
I'm sure yours will arrive soon!

That's amazing, how was this left in the car after such a long time is there a story behind the car? Looks brand new from that!Yomp said
Not your usual place to find the name of the supplying original dealer ……….

Mine came in a brown envelope! Could well be neck and neck!Saulty said
Hmmmm, it looks like your winning 😕! I'm away this weekend so I'm not going to know what post I have until Monday. There was a brown envelope yesterday about A5 size but I thought it was some advertising bull from a credit card company so I ignored it! I'll keep you posted when I get back, we could be head to head!😎

Update on the DVLA race haha! Got this letter back today hopefully get it through soon, any updates on your side?Saulty said
Have now downloaded the from, filled it out and sent it off! Apparently it takes about 7 weeks to come through.
I have also looked on the dmb website, they don't have my dealer but there is a link to click if you have any info on a dealer so I'll see what they need and what they can do! I have more important things to do on the car first though! (Like get it through the MOT!)

They're really good! I bet you are well pleased with them! I still have an original rear dealer plate so I guess a photograph will do. Hopefully they can make a rear window sticker from the same image!
Easily, if they can make mine from my rubbish picture!

It will be interesting to see who's comes back first! Seven weeks seems like a long time to make a few photocopies but as it's free I won't complain!😉

DMB are REALLY good…
I couldn't find an original plate anywhere so I did my research where I found some original supplying dealer graphics and came up with my own little drawing on how I think it should look. I contacted DMB Graphics over the phone and then sent them an e-mail with a description along with this really poor drawing:

Which he then turned into this:

Which became:

All within about a week from the first phone call and for £22.50 posted. Unbelievable.
