Does it not state the previous owner on the V5c?

When I was researching the history of my Triumphs I downloaded a form from the DVLA website which requested the names and the (then) addresses. I seem to remember that the document was called a V888, but I may be wrong. Go on the website and I'm sure you'll see it.

DVLA will release the info on previous owners for £5.00 if you can give a good enough reason for the enquiry.

Is that £5 per owner Gazza or for the full history? i.e. 4 owners is 4 separate enquiries therefore £20

I did this, stating that I wanted to track previous owners to see if they had the spare keys
