It depends when you applied. GDPR came in effect 2021, you’re very very unlikely to receive a full list of unredacted names now, unless someone hasn’t done their job properly.

Not quite...
What you'll get, and it may take some time, is copies of whatever records DVLA have, with names and address redacted, apart from the town or possibly just County, depending on the whim of who's doing the redacting.
The copies I was sent are principally just the Change of Details page that was sent to them at each change. You can't tell what's a change of Keeper and what's just someone moving house.
Well I received a full unredacted list of names and addresses of all previous owners for my '68 Traveller. I think it depends on what you say you want the information for and how you would use it. I said I just wanted to build a history file for my own personal use and that I would not ever share any of the data they send me.
When was this?
Before 2017?

Don't trust AI, that's the post Brexit replacement legislation date.
It came into force in 2018, but was phased in before that. 2018 was when they could prosecute for the breach.

I remember it coming into force, doesn’t seem that long ago.
Anyway…. Less about legislation. We’re here for old cars.

This post concludes the welding of the complete N/S of the car from front to rear.
There is some seam sealing left to do, then we get to turn the car around and repair the front inner wing on the O/S. Thankfully it is nowhere near as bad, and the inner arch looks saveable this time.

Nice work! I'm currently working on the N/S inner wing on my Minor as well, but have only just started on it.

So got the car turned around to work on the O/S wing. Got everything stripped back, cut out and prepped ready.

The inner wheel arch was in much better condition than the other side, so I wanted to save it.
It needed 3 repairs to make good and none of them are really very difficult, so it seemed feasible.

That just leaves the leading edge to sort out before the inner wing can be fitted.
All being well we should get the A post fitted this weekend, and therefore the door. This will be a massive milestone as that will mark the fitting of all the replacement panels.
