Don't forget .. the V5 isn't proof of ownership, anyway, simply who the registered keeper is. All insurance companies will ask if you are the registered keeper - you can quite happily say no and they'll still quote you.

What proves proof of ownership of a vehicle then  ?   The receipt/ bill of sale ?

Nothing does, essentially.. that's why I could write to the DVLA and request a new V5, in my name, for your car (if I had the chassis number). Of course the DVLA will 'attempt' to contact you (by post) to ask if you're OK with that..

According to the huge letters on the front of the V5:

THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT PROOF OF OWNERSHIP.
It shows who is responsible for registering and taxing the vehicle.

It all seems very odd to me, but it's been that way forever as far as I know.. strange country we live in!

had that happen on a rangerover, I wrote back saying I still have the car, last year I changed the engine in it so told them, when the V5 didnt come back, I rang, to be told "you dont own that car" good job I copied the old V5 before sending it off.
