1 minute ago, trade vet said:‘ No handover signature requirements ‘ do these guys have that in writing from the VAT office.What will an inspector make of that when they examine your records in 4 years time.In the past,if a signature was missing,they could penalise you.
A digital signature system could be considered - I'll add that in

Want an update on the sunflowers? I bought the 'seeds' on Amazon. Thought a fiver was pricey for them. They turned up huge 500g bag... of sunflower seeds to eat, not plant. My nine year old was not impressed

Afternoon all
Been busy hammering away at this one, which might give you some ideas on how sales and deliveries could take place now or to prepare for the likely changes in the future.
Hope it's of interest.
As always, let me know your thoughts

Thank you. Very helpful

Just published this news story - NFDA says it thinks dealers CAN sell and deliver cars during lockdown
No official word yet from the government but I am pushing them

Glad you liked it!

21 hours ago, metcars said:Hey James, does this website have the ability to do a poll? Even anonymously? Just to see what percentage of us are still trading?
Yes it does... I'll set one up

I think what is clear is we need a specific comment from the government - can dealers deliver or not. It should be quote simple. I've emailed the business department and treasury today to ask them, and the SMMT. I'll see if any of them come back with a comment. Might try and hound them on Twitter too.
Glad you enjoyed the article and thanks all for your comments

The industry is split on this - selling cars, and whether you can deliver them during the lockdown.
As Cazoo restarted sales and deliveries this week, it was met with some shock and anger from others.
Here's my Sunday read for you on the topic...

@New year revolutions...... Thanks for this - was this sent out by Auto Trader? I have just published this investigation piece and it would be good to include those comments in it if I can. Could you send it to me directly?
