Hi, need a bit of advice, got someone interested in elise, but they want the following information -
Vin chasssis number
V5 document serial number
V5 issue date.
I'm just wondering if giving away all that information is too much, and leaves me open to fraud ?
Any info on this would be appreciated.

Can they get some of it from the reg anyway?
And the vin by looking under windscreen? Maybe older than when that was rolled out mind you...

They only need the registration number to obtain a HPI check.
if they then want to confirm the VIN no, engine no & registration date that the HPI check produces then ask them to send a copy and you'll send a copy of the V5 by return.

Yeah, i know they can get a lot from dvla etc.
Just worried that if they have all that info they could contact dvla and get a new V5 sent out to them.
I know from my hpi checks, they will give you the info, but need the other details for your garantee.
At the same time i don't want to piss off a potential sale.
