Hi Guys,
Dato's previous car owner here.
I don't see there being any issues in regards to ownership. I've owned the car outright for the last 8-9 years and the old rego plates have been handed back to Vicroads for destruction (been out of registration and off the road for about a year).
If Juls wants to PM me I'm happy to exchange numbers etc and fill in any history/old rego details etc.
Thanks to Dale for helping me out on short notice in getting the mesage up on these forums.
Michael.
