I can't help with your specific request but I assume that due to privacy laws, places like VicRoads or RMS in NSW won't give you details of previous owners if you have the old registration number?

116 Series (Alfetta Sedan/GT/GTV & Giulietta Sedan) / Re: Rusty hatch
Last post by festy - November 11, 2024, 11:41:18 AMA few more updates on my crusade against rust - working from the rear forwards, next job was behind the left rear wheel:
I started with a paper template then transferred that to sheet metal, then bent the flanges for the two ends and bottom edge so I could attack it with the shrinker/stretcher:
Then I lost motivation for a while part way through finishing that patch, but got stuck back into it a week or two ago.
Moving forward again, next was a pair of rust holes just forward of the tailgate hinges, in a pretty awkward spot
Then lots of filling, sanding and priming followed by a quick coat of red:
As usual, as soon as the colour goes on all the blemishes stick out, but I'll come back to those if they bother me too much once the tail lights and bumper are fitted.
Next job is re-fitting the original fuel filler and tank, so I can work out where to add a return port to the tank.
I dug out my filler neck from the garage just to find that the rubber elbow is badly split, so have ordered a Gates 24713 which I think should be a good fit once cut to size.

New South Wales / Searching for past history of ...
Last post by davelim8850 - November 08, 2024, 09:05:27 PMI am doing a nationwide search for past registration information of an Alfa 33 QV (905) registered in 1986 that I bought in VIC.
VIcRoads records arent coming up with anything and 1986 is too new for the AOMC database that runs up to 1984 only. The VIN of this car is ZAR905A2005190309 and was probably last registered to a John Gregory Conway of Burwood, VIC ( deceased since 2020/21). I bought this car unregistered from a chap in VIC who had in turn bought in unregistered as well from Conway some 15-16 years ago. I was wondering if this information can reveal if the car was ever on club records in an Australian state like NSW and then moved across borders sometime in the past. Thanks
Thanks
