Much the same in the UK plus various dates, engine number and capacity, body style, taxation class (Historic i.e. free yay), minus 'lien'.

Still plenty of 'gotchas' though, one of the more recent being that if a seller goes online immediately he swaps the car for money to notify the DVLA of the sale (so he isn't liable for the purchasers subsequent speeding fines), the existing road tax is cancelled and the buyer has to retax it before he can drive it.  Tricky if the process takes place at the sellers house.  That and others are supposed to reduce the number of untaxed and unregistered cars on the roads but there has been an explosion in them.  Once a car is off the books they can drive around with impunity, with cloned plates applicable to another car, and innocent victims copping for their speeding and parking tickets.

     Here in Texas the registration and title document includes the VIN, or car/chassis number, owner's name and address, previous owner's info, and body color - I think. Oh, and there is an area to indicate if there is a lean against the car. EasyPeasy if everything is in order. Cumbersome if not. Perhaps that is how it should be, for our own protection.
