* Warning * Werthers log book theft !

[Al Sherwood]

That thread Dave is a good thread and really has no need to be locked etc, this kind of thing really is down to an opertunity taken by a certain individual!

I like looking at the old pics etc and old reg numbers are great to see!

Stopping threads and throwing magazines away is not the answer, DVLA should make log book applications tougher and require a bit more information about the vehicle etc

[Al Sherwood]

I don't hink its seen the road legally for 20 years Adrian, I am shocked about the last liability as I have personally scorned it online!!!???
Any ideas??

[morcheen]

not sure if the dvla have tightened things up recently, but i remember you could just put down the reg and no chassis number when applying for a logbook and get the book through no problem.

Dave
It can still be deleted though

I think Dave's point was the thread was dead and forgotten about, then someone quotes it tonight and hey presto it's back in full view.

Anyway, as has already been said, these thieves want reg numbers they are all over the place.

What you all need to start doing them is tax them and use them.

When your dead , your dead, can't drive them afterwards.

All I am saying is

1 v5 in your name , not the previous keepers as some people do , especially car traders to keep the number of previous owners down on the v5

Sorn , print off the page keep in file ,

Mot , old days when paper copies and now current mot legislation recorded on websites , even if you have been off road for years , still good practice to get it on the trailer down to the station for a once over ,

I had the treat of a insurance policy cancelled on me as I had no mot due to a car having a engine change over , so it cost me a policy and money and had to start a new laid up cover during the period ,

Not having a dig , just trying to get you to cover all bases .

Car traders are not supposed to put the cars in there name if they intend on selling them , Hence why there is a correct trader section that informs DVLA that the trader has it but doesnt actually put the car into there name

Imagine how many owners some cars would have if every trader that ever had it put there name on the logbook

Traders who buy a car to resell arnt classed as actuall owners , hence why not required to put the car in there name

As as a new log book had been issued I wonder if the scammers name will show up if you make a previous owners history check with the DVLA. Then at least you'd know who the cheeky barsteward was.

[Chesney]

hey Al lets hope the new owner changes the colour

Just spat me brew out!

Ok paul thanks for that long winded story , yes Arnold Clark ect

But guys who buy cars to keep for a year or 2 to make a buck I am talking about

They don't register them in there name do they ????

I think everyone else gets my drift .

[RS2000CUSTOM]

I think everyone else gets my drift .

Certainly do Alex

A "low" owner car with 25 unregistered owners !

[0630154]

Correct dave .

There is lots of them I have came across in this rs scene.

This type of car identity theft has been going on for years , but the truth is now its so blatant in your face that they don't really care if you know them or not , and they just do it regardless .

I get your drift mate ,

same as these cars that claim there Gen mexicos / rs2000 etc etc , yet there vin plates state otherwise

The classic car scene seems full of people doing things that arnt exactly honest

I quess there is a lot of money to be made these days so there are lots of people trying there luck

Good job there are folk who know how to tell whats realy what
