Many thanks for the updates!!

I still have a few questions though ...

VIN#02688 - SVR 421W -> is this one still red?
VIN#03412 - DWU 105W ( Luke Palmer? ) -> has this one been long in the UK?
VIN#05387 - DMC 12D
VIN#05783 - NJX 125W
VIN#05797 - TDV 124W ( Jon Rosier? ) -> has this one been long in the UK?
VIN#06100 - PTO 634W -> who own’s this one at the moment? It’s been for sale a few times …
VIN#10264 - UOA 596Y ( Ian Titley? ) -> wasn’t this one sold in 2015 to someone else? And isn’t 10264 displayed at the Patrick Motor Museum?
VIN#10371 - YLU 928X
VIN#10458 - EJN 92X ( Will Blostone? ) -> who own’s this one then? I had a ‘Will Chris’ as the owner …

Sorry, no picture (at the moment) ; I found it on an Ebay ad a long time ago, but I've never seen it again since ...

There are plenty of free websites - e.g. https://cartaxcheck.co.uk/free-car-check/ - type in numberplate and wait 10 seconds
I use the "MyCarCheck" app on an iPhone, which also tells you the date the car was registered in the UK. There is probably a web equivalent somewhere. The official government websites also do it, but you have to know the exact make/model of the car too - and they are all different (e.g. DeLorean DMZ, De Lorean, DeLorean DMC, DeLorean DMC12, etc.etc.)

The Will Blostone car is owned by Will Blostone - that is his name.

Vin 10264 used to be in the Patrick Collection (museum) - then was owned by Ian Titley, then Mike someone, then Ian Titley bought it back and still has it.
