Hi People
Anyone ever bought a Motor without a Log Book?
Is it Legal?
The reason I ask is that I have seen loads of old motors on ebay without documents and some salvage motors are sold without them and I wonderd what the deal was with this.
Cheers
DD

Its a bit dodgy i think and to be honest i blame the DVLA (or DVLC whoever). I have heard of occaions where a person has applied to the DVLA for the log book of a car which was not legally theirs (for example a company car which mysteriously vanished from the car park) and after a few weeks actually received the log book, meaning that they could then register the car in their name!
This is a ridiculous state of affiars and unless really necessary I would always buy with the log book intact. Not sure what would happen if they caught up with you (obviously a fraudulent offence)

Soz but thats a daft remark. You point out that folk can illegally apply to get a logbook, then say you would only buy a car with a logbook.
Theres a noteable between surreptitiously applying for a logbook for a car you don't own, and simply buying a car which doesnt have one.
I wouldnt think twice about buying a car without a logbook as long as the seller gave us a full reciept signed on the day by me and him, and the price reflected the lack of logbook (DVLA charge 20 quid now to replace them silly-billies.). Certainly buying one off a salvage company is OK, its not as if you're buying it off a man in a pub.
