Finding a car's history

• Page 1 of 1
I have my eye on a potential car (Lotus) which has been off the road for around 30 years.
I know the registration but nothing else. How much can one discover just from the reg mark?
One thing which interests me in particular is whether it's the original colour or if not what colour it was when first registered.
Any tips appreciated

Jono,
The Registration No will only get you so far. It would be more helpful to know the full VIN. I could then be able to give you some additional information. However, colours were not generally recorded in the extant records until the later, post 1970 cars.
Feel free to send me a PM with what details you have and I will let you know what, if anything, I have on the car.

Lots of people who repainted their cars did not like removing and replacing the glass and masked it instead. So you can frequently find the original paint under the rubber windshield seal. Mine has plenty of Lotus Safety Yellow there.
