if you know the car's not nicked or nuffin and the current owner's just waiting to get the fookin thing back frm the DVLA...

what can you do?

obviously you can get a receipt for purchase of the car etc. etc. buy i'm thinkin about what would happen if the thing never turned up or summink, or if the guy lost it or something...

is it as dodgy as it sounds? could you leave yourself wide open to get fooked over if you dont take the V51Suppliment with you when you buy a car?

as far asi understand it, having the v5 gives you no legal ownership of the car, it just means youre responsible for it if you get caught speeding etc. this right yeah?
