Hi All,
Can someone tell me if it is possible, to trace the history of your vehicle?
I bought a 1992 Cooper 1.3i on Sunday and i am the fifth owner. I know the details for the previous two, but is there a way of finding out the first two?
Also, is there somewhere i can find out the original spec of the car both internal and external. At first look it seems to be fairly original and i think i would like to keep it that way, but just need to check.
Its a lovely car, but suffers as they all do at some time with the dreaded rust, so it is going to need some attention.
Any advice will be very much appreciated

| Call the DVLA. They should be able do do a search and provide details. I think the fee is £5 but best to check.

Or how about the Hertige Centre? I know they don't provide certificates for any Mini made after 1969, but I think they can provide further details like the exact date of manufacture?
The legendary book "Original Mini Cooper & Cooper S - The Restorers Guide" gives all the facts, figures and images you'd want on Rover Coopers. Well up to 1992/93 models anyway which is when the book was first published and therefore will cover you're model too.
This might prove helpful: -

Thanks hanlminiman, i will get onto them
Taffy, i already spotted this spec sheet, you popped it into an earlier thread to help someone else with something. I already printed it off...i think its invaluable.
On a good note, you will be pleased that i got the cooper back from the workshop tonight! (if you recall my first post, it packed up on the way home from the purchasers house!)
It has a nic-nacked alternator.
Had a new one fitted and away we went...woo hoo
Thanks for the advice guys
Took my son for a spin in it tonight and was waved at by another mini driver....its good to be back in a mini!!!!!
