You can do a Carfax for the part of the cars life while in the states and HPI for the UK part of it's life. Carfax will just take your credit card details and e-mail you the history.

Yes, you will need the VIN, and also a US Zip Code for a Carfax report (just use any Zip Code).

Carfax is much more detailed than an HPI report, and it prevented me from buying a previously written-off Z06 which had been imported to the UK, and was being sold by a large (and well known) dealer.

Money well spent if you ask me.

I always use 90210 as a Zip code and it works!
