A cars ownership history....where is it obtainable?

[m33ufo]

I'd like to do a little research into the ownership history of a car. What I'm mainly interested in is whether it's been a press car of any kind etc? It's less than a year old so are there any clues I should be looking out for?

Note reg number. Check magazines and YouTube. I'm sure some of these have some kind of show car option on their spec sheet too. Might be worth looking for.

Which one for? your Spyder? Have you asked Porsche GB?

I was under the impression that Press cars were early in the model run, and that introduction of Spyder was 2010, so considering yours is listed as 2011 in your profile, I would be surprised if it was.

it may still be an Porsche Experience Center car though ..

check out who the 1st owner is

True that.


Waits for the usual disagreements on the benefits of a car that was driven hard from the word go and over serviced, Vs the mollycoddled garage queens, that get cleaned every week, but rarely driven.

Check the option codes under the bonnet or in the front of the service book. 741 usually denotes it has been a press car.

Too young for a PE car, I suggest.

They are hardly hammered there though. Warmed up and driven with a capital D maybe.........

Various info here on DVLA's website, but in short you'll need to fill in a V888 and pay a fiver.
