Track a mk1

Hi Guy's I have recently got hold of a mk1 convertible and am trying to find out some history for the car, any ideas where to start.

Doing a HPI check is a good start.

For ?5.00 DVLA will give you a print out of all the previous keepers and dates of new ownership etc. I got mine done when I brought my '84 cabby, wrote to the addresses but didmn't get a single positive reply out of 5 letters. More effort will be undertaken at some point i.e knocking on doors in Lndon, Kent, Herts etc…big effort cause I live in Lancs.

If you are a member of the AA for ?36.99 you can get an immediate online version of the HPI check. They also send you a printout by post a few days later. Checked items include :

Reg number and VIN number check
Make and model of the car
Any colour changes
All previous owners and dates they changed
Any outstanding HP
If the car has been written off or damaged and insurance was used to repair
Mileage verification
If it has ever been stolen
Plus more

Just go to the AA website
