You still haven't mentioned who is currently down as the registered keeper. The guy you bought it off or one of the other family members?

Sorry, it's the guy who is registered keeper. He buys and sells alot of different cars, often with 2 at a time. All the paperwork for everything is at the parents house. He's also friends with another friend of mine too. It's legit. I'll try an hpi check then. Thanks for your help guys. I just want to save this car with its proper documentation. Otherwise there's the chance that it's log book will end up on a stolen vehicle eventually and I won't even be able to save this one without destroying another.

Would it not be both easier and the correct way to do it if the registered keeper applied for a replacement V5c sent to his new address then just completed the sale as normal when it arrives?

He would still need to know the Reg number though..

Did you see my post about the Glass and the possibility of the reg being etched on it?

 

I can' quite get my head around the fact that this guy has property of his in someone else's house and they won't let him have it...

True and I agree that is odd, takes all sorts I guess, a stealth mission to get it back should be carried out

I hate to say it , but was he actually the registered keeper , not another family member ? Even if he is they might object in some way to your statement of ownership if they receive a letter from the DVLA .

 

This is incorrect - Being the registered keeper in no way implies ownership. It is perfectly normal for, say a company car driver, to be the registered keeper but not the owner.

If my memory serves me, it says this on the document itself too.

 

Let him keep the car because without the documents, it isn't worth anything

I meant that was it even his car with his name on the v5 ? With now way of telling , and what looks like a family dissagreement maybe different people think they own it , despite who ever may/may not be on the V5 .
