Can you sell a car without the log book ?

[FoghornLeghorn]

....... I thought not

I am selling ym car this week and since we moved a few week back I cannot find the log book anywhere, I can find every other piece of info on the car, manufacturers guide, MOT certificate etc but no log book.

ARRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. And now it's too late to apply for a new one as it wont come in time. I just want to cry, not having a good day

oh dear...dont think you can as cant prove ownership.

there is soem info here that might be useful. Hoep you get it sorted

You used to beable to but I think that the law changed sorry can you agree to pass it on when it arrives?

i think it is illegal now, and up to £1k fine

I was thinking that. Could I give them something of mine as a reassurance that they will get the log book as soon as it arrives ?
GRRRR I could kick myself

Not sure about this as I have recently bought a car and there was a bit of a mix-up over the log-book. The girl I bought it from had filled it in wrongly and given me the wrong bit which I didn't realise until I tried to get a tax disc at the post office. I was in a complete panic thinking I'd bought a car without a log book!

Anyway, I went to the local DVLA office and they sold me a tax disc straight away. I also filled in a form with my address to get a new log book sent to me and they didn't even query it.

Luckily it's all sorted out now and was an honest mistake on the part of the seller. Had me worried for a while though! Anyway, it might be worth a phone call to find out where you stand and if you can get a copy of the log book before you try and sell your car.

sorry, didn't read the bottom part of your post properly. You already know you can get a new one. Just ignore me.
