Default Need to find first owner of a car

Hi all, looking for some advice.
Have sold the S2000 but my job is now looking a bit dodgy so have had to lower my sights for a replacement until things calm down at work and I know where I stand.
I have found a car privately which seems to fit the bill but in the past I have contacted the previous owner of the car if possible to confirm what condition the car was in when sold and if there were any major issues during their ownership.
The car I am looking at has only had one previous owner and there are no details of who that was with the service documentation and handbook etc (I think it may of been company owned). Is there any way to find this information?
The HPI check comes back OK but as it has just had its first MOT there is not much mileage info to go on and the mileage covered seems to have calmed down a lot since the last service and first MOT.
Can't afford to buy a lemon at the moment but the car and seller both seem genuine but would like a little more info if possible to back this up.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

It should be on the V5 I think.

IIRC you only get the details of the previous owner on the V5, so if it is now on to 3rd or more it won't be there.
