Car Sale through an Auction!!!

???

I have a question?  

I recently sold my car through an Auctin, and therefore gave them all my registration Documets.

The queston I have is I need to notify the DVLA that i no longer have the car but since I no longer have the documents How do I prove this.

I have written to the DVLA and advised them of this fact but i have been told that until the new keeper sends in the documents to re-register the process is NOT complete.

Can i get into trouble if he dose not register the car and get get introoublr with the police.

Any commets welcome.

    The DVLC advice is that if you sell your vehicle through a motor auction, you must either send in the V5/1 (two part registration document) to notify disposal or the V5/3 (red section of the three part registration document) or V5C/3 (yellow section of the registration certificate) to notify disposal into the trade.

    I would try visiting or phoning your local DVLA office - they are often easier to deal with then the faceless DVLC in Swansea.
