      So is applying for a logbook a crime if the system allows you to do it ?

      Surely it's the ringing of a vehicle with said logbook that's the crime, not the application for a document ?

        To me applying for a logbook is perfectly valid as long as you can prove that you actually have and own the vehicle.

        What bothers me is the amount of logbooks that seem to be floating about where cars have been scrapped or rotted away and people are selling them, fuelling the ringers and theiving b@stards.

            Why do people who own these now very collectable cars not want them m.o.t and insured, I can understand if you are building, restoring the car. But worthers no mot wtf that all about. Surely a mot will prove mileage and road worthiness. Is the owner saying the cars not fit for purpose. Proven mot with its history file adds value. And is a deterrent against these scams.

              What would be the real point in having an MOT on Werthers? It gets pushed into a trailer and pushed out. Will never be driven so it's just a large Model!

                I bought the car with no MOT and sold it with no MOT

                When you look at a car like Werthers you know " IF " you wanted to use it , that it wont fail an MOT so why worry

                Plus , nobody will ever use it anyway , lol

                I did however have it insured with agreed value

                      Surely the police will be able to get the applied registered keepers name & address from the DVLA & pay him a visit?

                      What might be more worrying is someone local who knows the car has applied for it & intercepted your mail in order to get hold of the letter that DVLA sent informing you that someone has applied for it.

                        MOT'ing the car every year adds to its historic history, even if the mileage doesn't change from year to year. More documented history, more value!

                        I MOT several cars for a wealthy car collector who doesnt use any of them, and he religiously MOT's them every year, they arrive on a trailer and return on a trailer. He has a 246 Dino with 3k miles on it from new, and he is the original owner. He even and still MOT's his pre 1960 vehicles.

                        I asked him why he bothers and was told the difference to the history is night and day

                        Might be worth considering keeping all the documentaion up to date

                          In all of this that goes on, I dont know who's worse;

                          The ones who apply for the V5's and selling them on for a quick buck, or the ones who knowingly buy them, adding thousands of value to their vehicle thus making it something it isnt?

                              Totally agree it's adds value and proves the car is still alive. It stops these things, get worthers M.O.T now you plonkers

                                Possibly why he chose it as the rare colours are worth slightly more. Not over keen on Tuscan Beige myself but on an RS2000 it looks amazing, really suits it (I think because it goes well with the black highlights).
