looked at a 1994 MX5 the other day with 22 owners on the V5!! It actually was not that bad!

Advertised as 95K miles and while the seats were in good condition, they were later seats so probably swapped over, but the steering wheel was super shiny!

What is the highest number of owners you have seen on a V5 and on what car?

Back in 2008 i went and looked at a white '88 Renault 5 GT Turbo that was for sale. Only covered 103k, quoted on the ad as only needing "minor" work to the body but it did have FSH, all paperwork, MOT's, Bill of Sale etc, but was also in need of a "minor" engine rebuild.

Was seriously tempted even though the V5 stated 18 previous owners, but after a bit of investigation it turned out the last 5 owners had all been within the previous 3 months or so, so i walked away. It got bought by someone else on the RTOC forum and it turned out the car had been bought by the previous owners with the intention to fix, but sold on each time with no work being done as it needed a fair amount of £££ throwing at it to fix the "minor" problems.

I bought a donor mk1 mr2 for my race car with 14 previous. Stole bits as they were required. Eventually sold it to the chap who bought my race car.

I had 10 previous owners on my Daytona 955i, it was low mileage and immaculate too, it had obviously been bought as a summer toy by 10 different people, who then discovered it was a great but flawed bike.

This was what came through on the V5 for my 1982 Mini, bought it about a year ago:

I did HPI the car and it had 3 number plate changes... Does this add an owner when you do it?

21 on one of my old bikes. It was a Suzuki RG125 Gamma (1989) in 1998 and an utter nail.
