Plenty of people I know have gotten all the required info from here.

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Diol1/DoItOnline/DG_10...

For just £5 the DVLA will supply all the previous owners details.

If you supply the reason of restoring a car to original and the previous owners will able to help you with that, thats usually enough.

Regards,

Matt

I run Silkolne 5w40 Pro S (now rebraned as Fuchs) in my Targa 4S

and even that had its moment when blasting through the mountains in Germany, oil pressure dropped on teh hottest day and gave me a scare. Reading some of teh US forums this seems normal at higher temps,

and redlining it consistently uphill certainly generates those.

I definately wouldn;t run a 0 weight for a trip like that
