I received a letter in the post addressed to me personally from Porsche of all people. They were inviting me to an exclusive preview of the new Cayenne.

I have never had any dealings with Porsche so I can only think they are getting their information on Range Rover owners from the DVLA in the vain attempt to lead us astray!!

Anyone else had experience of this underhand behaviour? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

i recall a part of the tax license application that gives you an option box to receive third party info if you dont tick it ..
but other than that then no the dvla does not sell your info.. ... - .- -.

I wonder how they got my name and address and knew I had a Range Rover of a certain age which I may want to replace?

Or am I just paranoid  2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

Thinkig about it... . If you don't tick the box how do the third parties get the info to send you the info? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

what about your car insurance company? or a car insurance comparison site..

must be loads of ways these peeps can get your info... ... - .- -.

I have had those annoying” you have had an accident” ambulance chaser calls... persistent!

I can only guess, I had a windscreen chip done late last year and I wondered if that was sold by the insurance company as a claim/accident to get their £20.00 cost back?

Bill Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

Also, lots of dealers are part of bigger groups so the group will have access to all your info.

I keep getting emails and letters from an Aston dealer (with some very tempting cars ) because they are part of the same group as the LR dealer who serviced my Westie.

You could always accept their offer, go for a blast in the Cayenne then tell them its not a patch on your FFRR  2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

The DVLA will sell data to private parking companies.

Sorry , not “sell”, but “charge a fee”. Completely different!

The whole thing is all a bit big brother!!  2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

I had one of those porch invites too.

Again like you have had no dealings. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

DVLA do sell data as do local councils for £3.95 a pop. Welcome to big brother!!!!
Just another reason among a sea of others why I left the mother land. An apathetic electorate has allowed the servants to become the master. Ask yourself how many policies government makes is for the benefit of you compared to corporations, councils and other so called authorities. 2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal
