Hi all, 

Sent off for a new V5 for change of keeper a week ago - have just realised when sent by post its up to 6 weeks - possibly more with Coronovirus practices in place. Am wanting to sell my car asap. 
Any idea on recent turnaround of these by post? Thanks - much appreciated!

    Allow up to 6 weeks, I don't see what the fuss is?

    Presumably the "fuss" is that nobody with any sense will buy a car with no V5, and the OP wants to sell the car asap.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    That's assuming people will be flocking to buy the said car, it won't take 6 weeks to arrive even with covid.
