Previously owner of my Pagoda from Las Vegas;-)

[mickleit]

Is there someone who can help me ;-)

I bought a Mercedes Pagoda SL 250 in Denmark

I can see the car's previous owner is from USA
I am very curious to find the car's previous owner
Just to learn the car's history
I have found THE SPECIAL DRIVE AWAY PERMIT

(previous) owner: Lindsay Taylor 9768 Redwood Ln Las Vegas

Is there  one who has a good idea of how to find the previous owner

The car was sent to Denmark in Europe 24 May 1999

The car was previously bordeaux
The car is painted in the original color is white
Sincerely
Jesper

This one may be a little difficult. I tried Google maps, and found a Redwood Lane in Las Vegas, but no listing for 9768. I also tried a Google search, but no luck at all with that. The aerial photo of the current Redwood lane, showed sort of a run down area (but hard to really tell).

Hope others can give some better insights.

Hi Johnny
Thanks for your reply;-)
Question: Is it possible to search on the car's chassis number in the US
and maybe find the name of the former owner of that way

[Jonny B]

I think your question has been raised before. I think the privacy laws and various agencies don't allow for car searches. Again, just going by memory on that. I did a quick search using "previous owner" and limiting the search to only subject line, and got one relevant hit, regarding searches in California. Not much luck. Then I tried "previous owner" (with the quote marks) and history for a wide open search, and got one page of hits. Suggest you try that.

Just go to the "search" tab, not the small search window at the right side of the page. Then you can type - "previous owner" history in the search window.

Good luck

Jon,  You raise a very good point and a mistake that many Members make when doing searches in using the upper right search window.

If you use the upper right search window under the date and time, it will only search the Forum discussion area you are looking at.  To do a full search of all areas of the Forum you should always use the Search tab in these of tabs at the top of the Forum window.

You found a Redwood LANE?   I only saw Redwood St and Circle...

Yes, with Google maps:
