Who are you

We are a newly formed limited company registered ( ) and based in England.

Why have you set up

We are vehicle enthusiasts, restorer and collectors and have sent up to provide a service that we have looked for ourselves but could not find.

Where do you get your info from

We predominantly get our information from our members and various trade sources.

How do you comply with the data protection act

We fully comply with the data protection act and are a registered (PZ9355053) keeper of data.

What do you do with my info

Your information is stored securely on a server and is subject to the best security systems available today.

Will you pass my info on to others

We will only share your information with other members of the site, we will never give enough information for you to be identifiable to anybody other than yourself or people you have given your id information to. We do not sell information to third parties and will only pass on your details if approved by you.

What about cloning

There has been much in the press recently about Cloning, the truth is it only affects a very small percentage of people. However any amount is too much as far as we are concerned so we have put into place procedures which should prevent it from happening from information obtained from this site.

Our procedures are:

Chassis numbers are never given out on any of our search pages as they are linked to the registration document of the vehicle - you cant have one without the other.

Engine numbers are only obtainable if a search for an engine number has been carried out. When an engine number is found the registration number or chassis number are never declared as well .

Registration numbers are never declared if the search was for a particular type of vehicle.

How much is it to register

It is free to register and join, what's more by registering your vehicles you save £2.50 on all searches and can receive free searches.

Do I have to register

No but by registering you save £2.50 on all searches and can receive free searches. We have all owned vehicles in the past why not add some of your old vehicles you will be helping a member out and you have nothing to loose.

What information will I receive

If you search has been successful you will be shown the information held against that search, the details will be ******** out, but anywhere, where there is a ***** there is information. Once you have paid the information will be revealed.

Why is the information ****** before I pay

The information is ***** out before you pay to enable you to make an informed choice as to wether you want to pay for this information or not. For instance you may only be interested in the current owner and do not want to know who owned it before.

What if my search is unsuccessful

If you search is unsuccessful we would encourage you to carryout another search as our database is updated daily.

How much will it cost to search

If you have registered vehicles with us it will cost £5.00 if you have not it will be £7.50. If you have registered multiple vehicles you could receive free searches.

That seems high

We feel this is a fair price and by using our service you could save yourselves thousands by not buying a lemon

How do I pay

We only accept PayPal which is the most established electronic payment method available today. PayPal enables you to give your card details to one company only. We receive our payments direct from PayPal and never see your card details.

How do I contact the person who's past/previous vehicle I am interested in

If you are interested in a particular registration then once you have paid you will be given contact details for the various owners of that vehicle. Some previous owners may state that they do not want to discuss the vehicle and we would ask you to respect their privacy. You will be able to see those members who do not want to discuss before you are charged.

If you are looking to buy a particular type of vehicle you will be given contact details for the current owners of that type of vehicle.

What if I have found the type of vehicle I am interested in from your free search but want to find out any history

It makes sense that once you have located the type of vehicle that you are interested in to use our registration search. This way you will get an unbiased history of the vehicle you are intending to buy.

Can I use PayPal elsewhere on the web

PayPal is the biggest electronic payment company in the world and they are the preferred payment method for millions of people. They are accepted on all the big auction sites and most companies trading on the net.

Surely if people can contact previous owners to get an unbiased history, then only genuine vehicles will be sold on the site

Exactly, it is for this reason that we set the site up, we have all suffered at the hands of unscrupulous traders and private sellers. What we are trying to do is keep people honest.

I am not sure of the exact dates I owned a vehicle, can I register vehicles with approximate dates of ownership

Yes, we realise that you will not be able to remember exact dates approximate dates are fine.

There is a conflict of information about a vehicle

If you have entered details incorrectly and they clash with another members you can alter your details by visiting your homepage and editing the relevant details.

Someone else has added incorrect details

If you have access to their contact details then mail them and point out the error to them, please copy us in on your mail at services@findyourold motor.com.

I have contacted them and they have still not corrected it

Contact us at complaints@findyouroldmotor.com and we will resolve.

Someone has added my details as either having bought the vehicle or sold the vehicle

This is acceptable under the data protection act as long as you are not identifiable to people from the information held. If you are not happy contact us and we will remove the information form the site.

When registering should I add who I purchased the vehicle from and who I sold it to

Yes, please add this information and any information on previous keepers, but please only use the surname of the person and there location from the drop down box.

Can I register in various categories

Yes we would encourage you and it all goes to gaining you free searches.

I have requested that I do not want to be contacted, yet I have been contacted

Contact us at complaints@findyouroldmotor.com with the details and we will ensure that you are not contacted again.

Why has my particular type of vehicle not got it's own category

We have set the categories up that we believe will develop the most interest. If you want your vehicle type to have its own category get together with other owners and register your vehicles. We will change the categories if we have miscalculated the demand.

I would like to link my website to yours

Please visit our links page and click on the request a link page.

I would like to advertise on your site

Please contact us on brendan@findyouroldmotor.com we would be happy to discuss your requirements.

I would like sponsorship from you

We are enthusiastic motor racing fans and will always try to help, however as we are a new business our funds are limited. We currently sponsor the Yamaha Past Masters held by Bemsee (BMCRC).

I have some better photo's for you

We are always looking for good photo's for the site, if you have some copyright free photo's that you would like displayed on our site please send them to brendan@findyouroldmotor.com

I want to change some of my details

That’s easy just log into your Personal homepage and edit what information you need to.

What cookies do you use

We use only two:

  1. To remember a person's session. This is a built-in ASP element which we use as part of the PayPal process, to remember the search a person was doing when they return back from PayPal. We also use this to make sure a person isn't charged twice for the same search.
  2. To remember a person's e-mail address, so the login pages remember the last e-mail address that they used to log on successfully.

Why do I have to use an id

It is good practice not to use your name when registering, this allows you to remain Anonymous.

It is free to register & join - which saves you £2.50 on all searches and can earn you free searches. See grading details.
