He also gave me the name of someone who might be able to check, I'm going to see him tomorrow,
He said that the DVLA's policy is very strict now and its mainly computer based algorithms, that are not
sympathetic or flexible. Im going to keep going, in the meantime in thinking of cleaning up my carbs,
lots of sorting to do. i will update tomorrow if i get to, the man that knows a little.
It might be the case that the previous owner did notify the DVLA that the car had been sold to me.
I'm just trying to gather as much info as poss, to make a case, the it won't need to be a gone with the wind epic.

I did try a few HPI sites but they either ask for the reg or 17 digit chasis numbers so no help there.
Thank you once again for your comments.
