Just downloaded this new form off the gov website and it looks like no fee now? Added bonus!MrP said
Contact the DVLA, V888 form.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/v888-request-by-an-individual-for-information-about-a-vehicle
Costs £5 but you'll get everything they hold about the vehicle. Just state it's your car and you want everything they hold for informative and documentation purposes due to the classic nature of the vehicle. State for personal use only.
I did it on my Rivage and found out the supplying dealer:

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!)

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.

Have now downloaded the from, filled it out and sent it off! Apparently it takes about 7 weeks to come through.

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!

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!😉

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!😎

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 ……….

Damn you beat me!! I'm getting the redbull pitstop treatment it would seem! Did it tell you the supplying dealership & any other cool stuff? Can't wait for mine to arrive!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! 😎
