Ive bought a car with no log book (i know, a cars not legit without it) and ive applied for a new log book in my name. Has anyone here done the same? How long does it take for the DVLA to send the new log book out?

They use the government random number generator to decide how long. I've had one back in 10 days before, which was the 'iffy' one for my fastback (backdated by four years!) but I waited 6 weeks for the GTE one.

They say it takes longer when when it is a replacement or other anomaly, like yours
they say wait six weeks before contacting them (four weeks for a normal change of owner)

I tried to declare SORN at the same time and have recieved a letter today saying that as I'm not the registered keeper I cant sorn it and to apply for a V5. Last time this happened they tried to fine me 6 months later for failure to declare SORN.
The DVLA cock up pretty easy things somtimes so something slightly confusing like this has real potential to go horribly wrong. Ill be much happier when I get the V5!

they are random as f....!
sent mine off to register engine change, and it only took 5 working days! but think that was because I was going to a higher tax bracket, which would equal more money for them, so they would hurry that along eh!!
my girlfriends just got hers back for the ovlov. took about 4 weeks or so to come!

In a case where you buy a car without V5, they contact the currently recorded keeper and give them two weeks to respond I think. Obviously, if the previous keeper replies quickly it speeds up the whole process.
