raggerminder Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I am today selling a car to a German who is flying in to pick it up and drive iot back to Germany. I am, however, not sure about what to complete on the V5C as I am not "personaly exporting the vehicle" which to me implies that I will continue to be the owner. (Section 11) Should I just pass on the gren slip (Section 10) in the usual fashion and send off the front page as normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raggerminder Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Panic over. Eventually managed to speak to someone is DVLA and for future reference the new purchaser will need to take the full V5C with them and notification of sale to DVLA is done by letter. Should be straightforward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen01 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I sold my MGBGT to a chap from belgam, he drove it back on his tod the days before satnav was popular. I think he had the full V5 but it was 14 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demag Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think I would take a copy of the V5 and keep it for a month or two. Sent from my Wileyfox Swift using Tapatalk chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayW Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Sold a BX to a Belgian, I did exactly what the DiVLA told you... Last time I checked, K137TJE was still registered. Untaxed, but still registered. This was 13 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporty-shite Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 My old 635 went to Luxembourg in the same way. Guy flew over and drove back. I did as DVLA have told you, and it now has an export marker on it. He needed the V5 for his journey, and possible Luxembourg registration, although I think he just broke it for its. He told me he'd only bought it for the front seats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 My mate sold his old CLK to a chap that was exporting it. The chap paid, got a receipt and then tried taking the whole V5. My mate was having non of it, saying that if he gave him the full V5 it would probably be used in some sort of criminal activity or something, there was absolutely no way he was doing that. He wouldn't let the chap go with the car and spent about 45 minutes on the phone who told him to give him the whole V5 at which point my mate sheppishly gave him the keys of the car he'd paid for and let him leave, with the V5.

He turned up with a car transporter with two cars loaded already.Cash changed hands, V5 Handed over, receipt signed etc.... Bloody scary watching a Camaro wheel spin to buggery trying to get up the ramps though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 To be fair, I did it the wrong way for my G40 and the end result was still the same.Filled out the export bit to post off and gave him the green slip.

anonymous user Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Some of mine went across the sea to pastures new. I have always informed DVLA. I just did a random check on a few registration numbers. One sold in 2007 has an export marker, earlier ones either don't show up at all, or just show as untaxed/unmoted from when I sold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
