Buying a car without a logbook?
Right, I've just agreed to buy an xr3i cabby thats got some running issues (its had an RST lump fitted, but its not running right )
The mechanic who was employed to get it runnin is selling it, as the guy who owned it has left it there for 2 years and not paid the bills for parts used/ labour etc. He only wants £400 to cover what he's paid out in time and parts (new set of sensors and a new ecu amongst other bits).
Its worth the money all day long, but can the guy who has the original log book claim the car off me if I buy it or block my application for the paperwork?
Ta for any help

I will get a letter, if he does not reply to it stating he still owns the car then you will be issued the log book.
I would apply before I paid the full amount and collected the car.
Or, just buy it and break it, after all, he may turn up one night and take it back
