Claiming log books for barn finds

[mossy]

I know a few on here have stumbled across barn finds with vehicles which have been there for years and nobody knows who owns them.

 

Me and a friend have stumbled across one with 4vehicles in (2 being uber cool old fords ) the farmers whose barn they are in says they have been in there easily 15yrs or more.

 

Obviously there are no log books with them .. He wants them out the barn and was gonna weigh them in..

 

How would we obtain log books for said vehicles? Any info would be great.

go to the post office and fill in form "application for a v5" and you have to pay approx £20 send it off to dvla and they check with previous recorded keeper and as long as they dont contest it log books will come back within 4-6 weeks. i have done this many times and it is really easy and by the sound of it well worth the effort. hope this helps

The Form is a V62 and the cost is £25

 

The DVLA will then write to the current registered keeper, stating that someone else has applied for a V5c registration document, if the DVLA do not get a response within a given time (I think its 14 days) then they will then issue you with a V5c in your name

Fieldy - I've not ( but I've paid someone else! ) cheers dude. Pop in if your not too busy!

 

Cool, well shall see how this goes ... mothers gonna love another car home!

i would take all the reg numbers and see if there still on the system first

[john_3.0s]

you just need the reg numbers and chassis numbers.

 

suggest you apply quickly as this is one of the few areas which hasnt been clamped down on recently by the DVLA. If you dont know the reg then you will need the car inspected by a car club to verify that it is what you say it is then the DVLA use this as evidence to assign a new reg and a logbook
