I've noticed on here (and in the 309 owners forum) that some of you have commented on how much you'd like to trace the history of your car. Well, actually you can and it's easier than you might think. The DVLA have what is called a V888 form which you can download here - http://www.direct.go...ine/DG_10016794 Or simply Google 'V888 DVLA form'. Be sure to tick the box next to option 'B' in section 1 and enclose a £5 postal order. I've used this service for my 205 and I'm very impressed. 3 weeks after completing and returning the V888 to the DVLA I received an A4 envelope from them (sent recorded delivery) packed full with photocopies of EVERYTHING the DVLA have on file for my 'F' reg 205, including the paperwork from when the dealer first applied for a registration mark, first application for a tax disc (and the 1988 prices!), copies of the log book each time it's changed owners (including the mileages where supplied) and the full details of each previous owner (and the dates of purchase and selling) right back to day one! I hope this is of use to someone as the V888 doesn't seem to be widely known about.
