Morocco Red Celebration Convertible

[jec763]

Hi ... I’m trying to track the previous owner of a lovely low mileage morocco red convertible who was a JEC member. Reg M998 .... but also carried a couple of personal plates in its time. Its still lovely and I am keen to contact any of the five previous owners to learn a bit more of its history.

Hi jec763,

If you write to David Randall, the XJS Model Co-Ordinator with your VIN, David will be able to search the old JEC XJS database which may reveal details of the previous owner. If so, David can then ask the previous owner if it's ok for you to contact them.

Good luck

Paul


PS Morocco Red is a great colour! So dark it almost looks black at times - lovely!

Firstly I hope the op gets the information he needs but I wonder if the club is within GDPR rules about contacting previous owners? It's not about giving information out but rather about collating and keeping information about members. Organisations normally have to ask their users what information can be kept or used.

If someone was to approach the DVLA I'm sure they wouldn't contact previous keepers.

Not wishing to upset anyone, just making sure the club is keeping within rules, I'm no expert so maybe it's absolutely fine.

Hi Al,

You raise an interesting question that made me reread the Clubs privacy policy. I think the principle is covered in that the Club states that data it holds on members can be used to communicate with them and that data held on a member can be released to a third party with the members permission. I read that as saying that if the Club asks a member if it can provide specific details held on that member to another member and permission is granted the data can be released.

I think the key issue here will be maintaining a proper audit trail to prove that permission to release data has been sought and obtained. I also think that given the nature of the Club it could become a major administrative task.

I look forward to the Club’s response to your query.
