I am sure I'm not the only Seven owner who would like to chronicle the history of their car but is thwarted by lack of documentation or beaurocracy enhanced by Data Protection Act consequences etc. Without encouraging people to break the law has anyone wormed their way into 'old' data for this perfectly legitimate reason? Original registration records if they still exist can be wonderful - I know my 1934 Tourer FO 3040 was first registered to Radnorsdhire County Council but after that I know virtually nothing. Even our most revered clubs are not always forthcoming - I believe my car was owned 15 or so years ago by someone in the 750 club but I have had no success approaching their officials as everyone seems frightened to give personal information away even if not held on computer and even when membership lists were freely available to other members at the time. Very frustrating.
