Not sure if many know this, but for anyone wishing to get a bit of info for their car, print out the V888 form from the DVLA sitehttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/v888-request-by-an-individual-for-information-about-a-vehicle, fill it out and attach a postal order or cheque. Did this for my 3.0CS and 7 weeks later I got a packet containing copies of all previous logbooks and details of registration plate changes. All in all about 20 pages long and well worth the £5.
1973 BMW 3.0CS "Helga"
1981 VW Golf GTi "Agolf"
1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo S2
1987 BMW M535i - 'Klaus'

Just filled mine out and posted it.
I just said I wanted all DVLA held info as I've got a show car and wanted as much info into its history file for the future.

I did this when I got mine 13 years ago.
I got the previous owners details and wrote to all of them in the hope of old photos or documents that they may have had tucked away.
Didn't get a single reply!!!
