As above if the car is solid and straight it would not bother me. My MK II valver 1991 has 9 previous owners but is rock solid and one of the best I have seen.

Wouldn't worry me at all, a lot of the time garages register cars to themselves and also family memebers register it twice eg. brother sells to brother so they change name in the V5 even though they live at the same address!

6 owners on my mk1, and I also decided to write to the previous owner on the log book.
He contacted me back by e-mail, result
He had the car for 13 years and did 100k in it, I am hope he will be able to sort out some pictures of it for me.
He was very pleased to find out I am restoring it

My Cab was owned by the world and his dog at one time or other, didn't put me off. It's got loads of history and a complete set of manuals with tax and mots so who cares? Be honest people often buy cars like this for a novelty and that quickly rubs off and they sell again just to get a car that's got power steering!
If it's straight one, buy it!
