registering a car with no V5

[Mr Sam]

thought it might be best trying to register the old angle box as im starting to spend a bit of money on it now and would quite like it on the road, well its being built for track but i know parents will go nuts i spend a fortune on it and only able to race it

 

complete form V55/5 available from a DVLA local office

complete form V765

provide a recent photograph of the vehicle and documentary evidence, such as the original log book, a pre-83 tax disc or MOT certificate, linking it to the original number

 

what happens if i have no log book, no pre '83 disk and no MOT's

 

is there anyway of registering it

 

paperwork wise all i have is a recipt to say i left a deposit on it i do know its Reg though

 

a mate said yeah just send them a letter explain the situation include the reg and its about £20

 

 

 

any light on the matter much apreciated

[Mr Sam]

oh it also said something about re-registering a rebuilt car you need the original chassi/monocoupe shell, the suspension front and rear, the axels (both) and engine........a good job i havent space framed it yet with coilovers

[Mr Sam]

The following values will be allocated to the major components used:

 

chassis or body shell (body and chassis as one unit - monocoque ie direct replacement from the manufacturer) (original or new) = 5 points

suspension = 2 points

axles = 2 points

transmission = 2 points

steering assembly = 2 points

engine = 1 point

 

you need 8 points or you have togo for a Q plate

 

think i have 12 though

Sam, do you have a VIN number??? If so, just fill out a V5 application form, enclose your £20 and wait for Postman Pat.

it's £25 now as i had to get a log book for my fiesta

[alladdin]

i bought a shell recently with no tags but had a v5 , no probs sent off v5.... 3 weeks later nothing.... emailed dvla, no record of me applying

so now the v5 is lost, its gona be 25 quid this time but i dont know the chassis no ?

anyway i filled in the bits i could, sent it off and bingo 2 weeks later i have a new v5

which is odd really ? if they really had no record from me or other party then they would have had to contact him to confirm???????? easy 25 bucks i reckon....

[Mr Sam]

no VIN tag no Log book

[Jubfab]

isn't the vin number stamped in the o/s strut top ? clean the paint off and should be able to read it. It's only stamped faint but should get somat.

If it dosn't work let me have the reg and i'll try and find the vin for you

[Mr Sam]

thanks

 

someone did tell me they didnt have VIN tags as such

 

PM sent

Usually if you don't have the new owners part and or the old keeper bit aint been sent off they write to the last person listed as owner and the letter says if you have sold the car dont reply of course if they've moved since it was reg'd there'll be no-one there to not answer if you get me

[ALL4SHOW]

dont bother sending a letter as you have nothing to explain as there is a bit on the form that says i was not given the logbook by the last owner so just tick that & send it off with the details you have reg number & chassis number & you will get it back with all the other details thats all i do when i get a car with no logbooks

[alladdin]

you need to fill in a v5 application form from the post office. fill in the bit thats for " bought with no v5" then send it with a 25 bucks chq to dvla.

[Mr Sam]

i pick these forms up at a post office dont i? or is it a dvla office?

 

 

thanks for all your help guys

i downloaded the forms as the post office said most of the ones i wanted were obsolete
