Just used the RAC website - just for fun, ran through the numbers of a few
vehicles I have previously owned, including FAU 217L my old land rover I
owned in 1986/88

Apparently this was first registered 1st January 0001 and last change of
keeper was 7th June 2000 - that makes it nearly 1004 years old.

Reminds me of the joke, who owned the first car on earth - A. Moses, it
says in the bible he came down from the hills in his Triumph !!!!!!

Is that a free service or does one have to pay for a vehicle history check?

Free, look under MyRAC, gives last change of owner from registration number.

Of that there is little doubt, notwithstanding!

Some Land Roveresque (101 biased), links available
from: http://links.solis.co.uk/Geek/X4_Land_Rover/
I also have a little Land Rover site biased toward
my beloved 101 "Grumble", at: http://www.101fc.net


Reading this in 'alt.fan.landrover'? Did you know
there's a group FAQ: http://www.aflfaq.dyndns.info

Just got into that site at last, I also have a 1000 year old landie.

It records 8 previos owners, now 1 of them would be the original dealer, and
another would be the dealer I got it off.

As for my other cars and scooters, sadly only the limo is still in
existance.
