The only thing is when you sell the car without the V5 you cannot prove you sold the vehicle on the day it was sold so any speeding, parking fines or worse would be hard to prove it wasn't you. Personally Tunnie I would wait

Yeah i think i will Pete, just feels wrong selling it without the log book. As you point out as well, the car could get speeding tickets.

Its Taxed and MOT'ed until the end of the year, so still saleable...

Hmmm, yes I suppose 3 weeks is nothing then, never had to wait that long myself though.

i even had a dealer who didnt bother to send off the registration doc for changing despite having relieved me of £11k  >:( - must say i was surprised the dvla waived the fee to issue a new one
