    No.

    You also can't make a complaint as it's pre regulation.

    You dont need to know the finance company. Its the seller you complain to.
    Can i make a claim?

    No. Car dealers were not regulated until Jan 2005. Whilst some franchise dealers using own brand finance companies will consider earlier complaints, the majority will not and 1986 would pre-date those that go earlier.
