can i sell my car without the registration document

You can but the buyer may be less likely to do so as there would be no proof it was yours and they would have to pay around £25 to get a new one.
Why would you sell it without if you have it?

because sections 1-8 are missing from the form,i only have sections 9-11

4 years ago I had my V5 corrected, they had the wrong model of car on it. Cost = nothing.

Fill out form V62 from Post Office or https://www.direct.gov.uk and send with the green bit number 10 and you will get a free replacement. Put the correct spelling on the V62 and send letter saying that it had the wrong spelling.
