I use carsireland.ie to get the number of owners (start a new for sale listing).

 

To get the date of the last keeper change, start an insurance quote with Sure Thing Insurance.

 

Neither of these is infallible, but will give the info in most cases.

 

ah cool thanks :)

 

shoved a few Invacars in there as a test and both of em where having none of it sadly

 

(I think iv come across carierland.ie before looks quite familiar maybe iv finally lost and have already asked you about this before? LOL)

Probably bought for bits, some of which are getting hard to find even s/h. I've had 3 of those, and still have 2 later 1.3 versions with the headlamps made of pure unobtanium.
