Hi one and all and thank you for your responses...to be clear i have trade plates and motor trade insurance and my accountant is aware of my new folly so i purchased the car only when all was in place to be able to get the car home without problems...maybe i did not make it clear that the only things in the car were the MOT certs, 2nd Key, Service book, and part of the V5 document with part 10 and 11remaining. I assumed (incorrectly i guess) that the Auction house would have informed the DVLA of the new owner via the details they ask for at point of purchase...thats wrong, Right?....should i just send part 10 to the DVLA, swallow the extra owner but explain to the customer any advice welcome. I will call the DVLA as advised by tony F see if they can help

Hi EVP...Thanks for the Info, much appreciated.

Hi all... reading this forum for the last few weeks has been really interesting and has helped me a lot regarding getting my trade plates, insurance etc and buying my first car at auction. I have decided to self warrant via Lawgistics. Though i'm a newbie at this, I ran a successful business for 26 years (although the last 8 years sucked big time) so i am under few illusions when it comes to how things can turn to Shinola, I am also very aware of the customers bloated sense of entitlement which has to be managed. I do not work any longer and am in no particular hurry so hopefully i'll have the time to build from part time lower volume into something bigger as i get past the cock-ups and mistakes i am bound to make in a new business. I just wanted to comment on the helpfulness of most of the dealers who reply to new members questions (even the stupid lazy ones)...i have been on a lot of forums searching for new business ideas and the vitriol that comes back to anyone asking for help is sometimes cringeworthy...so on that note... i am confused as to what i would have to do if i buy a car without a V5 or just a part of the V5? obviously i don't want to add my name to the list of owners. any help appreciated
