Sounds great James.

Once the car is registered to you, you can then do a "fee paying enquiry" with the DVLA. They'll send you copies of old v5s out showing names and addresses of all the former keepers. You can then write to them if you want. Although technically you aren't supposed to act on any of the information as far as I know.

I always do one of these for anything special (although I haven't done one for my GT3 as all the former keepers are listed in the service book), however I've never written to anyone asking for any info or stories they have about the car. I'd be interested but I always picture the scene if they've moved house.
Some random guy will open a nerdy letter asking about a 15 year old Porsche and say "Who's this saddo?!".
