Hi david,
Always good to find history on a car.
But I dont think dvla will give a number back on shipping proof.
I had an MG M Type I imported as all the dvla trouble kicked off.
I had a mountain of history, all apart from the important stuff, previous V5, tax discs.
I had the shipping to usa paperwork, and usa title. And shipping back proof, they would only give a number back on proof it had been registered on it's original number.
They did red flag the original reg, so nobody else could claim it. Just in case a previous v5 or tax disc could be found.
You would be better off finding were it was original first registered, and see if any of that history still available, As this proves the car was registered for the road. Dvla will return a number on this.
If you dont get the number back, it may be an idea to put a small plaque in the corner of the number plate with it's original reg on. So the cars history can be tracked in the future.
Tony.
