lets face it, if its done a genuine 23K who cares about service history? What i'd be more pissed about is, I could have got it cheaper a couple of weeks ago

Hi Steve, yes that is the car i bought the car from a trader and did some detective work (which was a nightmare) to track down the service history. I managed to get the service history and some other docs plus i have just had the car serviced myself.

Wonder if he's found the service history for the car or the engine,, as its not the original one for the car.

He also bought it off a private man, as it was for sale by him on the rsoc on a couple of wks ago

How can the car still have 1 previous owner as he's now classed as an owner so soon it maybe a 3 owner, but putting that a side lovely car and i wouldn't throw it out of my garage.

dead simple, trader buys it off the 2nd owner and fills in the yellow part of the v5, the registered keeper sends that off to the dvla,the trader keeps the rest of the logbook all legally and above board otherwise you couldn't buy a car from a garage if the full logbok was at swansea.

i never noticed if the car was for sale trade but looking at the 80's style gaff i'd say not
