as title, ive already got my golf vr6, golf diesel and fiesta rs turbo in my name, ive found a rotton golf mk3 gti with a lot of bits on it I want for my vr6 restoration, but the seller wants the logbook put in my name which I understand.

can you get in trouble or fined if you have too many cars in your name? dvla think its suspicious etc.............. you get the gyst of things chaps where im coming from!

it will be stripped for what I need and the shell scrapped.

 

no, why or how can they do anything or care.
i know a few well off people with more than 10 cars

 

Guy i work for has over 50 in his name,
Never heard of them having a problem,
Thinkiof all the collectors etc with lots of cars, they must all be registered
I've personaly got 7 and never had any bother

 

cool, just me being paranoid!!

 

Big business and leasing companies have thousands of them in their names.

 

Ive had three for many years.

 

As long as taxed/sorn/insured as required, no problem.

 

I have 2 cars and 3 bikes

 

They will get suspicious if you are registering lots of cars for short periods of time, they may suspect you are trading. A friend was questioned a few years ago as he had lots of disposable income and got bored quick of his cars

 

I buy and sell maybe 10 cars a year plus I own 3 and a bike, no problems

 

never had a problem as they don't actually collate the data of who's got what, only that each car is registered and taxed/sorn'd

if you call them up to find out how many cars are registered at that address they can't give you an answer as it's all done on that unique 11 digit reference number on the log book

i once had 18 cars all at the same time

 

Ive got 3 in my name too.
