Hi, Everyone.


So from what I understand, I now need to buy for £25, a new log book, and register the car in my name, myself. Is that correct? I'm a bit unsettled that the seller has done nothing other than give me the part of the V5C they had, and a paper receipt...

Drive past lots of speed cameras really fast and get lots of parking tickets. The previous owner will get them all.
Phone him up and say you got flashed by a camera and he will get the ticket because he didnt send the document off.

I have section 10, 11 and 12.

I read the back (duh) and it says to fill out this PDF,
http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/@motor/documents/digitalasset/dg_067819.pdf
Post it to them, and they'll send me a new V5C for free.

Hope it's as simple as that.

Thanks.
