i thought that a new law came in to force the beginning of the year which made it illegal to sell car without v5 i do know you cant tax it without and cant mot either if i remember yep thats right, so you have claim there im sure him not being able to find it is no exscuse if he was the legal owner of the car then he should get in touch with the dvla for you if not isnt that fraud

No V5....no legal right to own the car.
Why, oh, why did you part with money for a potentially stolen vehicle?
You have NO rights according to the DVLA - it is illegal to sell or buy a car wihout the V5 these days.
You could TRY getting a replacement from the DVLA..but they only (normally) issue if you are already the registered keeper.
The upshot is, the MAY tell you who the last keeper was...or may report it to the police as stolen.
I'd contact the police, 'fess up about being a bit nieve and see what happens, they should be able to see who was the last keeper by doing a PNC check. You don't want to be charged with receiving stolen goods....

if your with a motoring organisation such as aa or rac they might be able to help as they do a,( h.p) data base scan if your thinking about buying a new car just dont tell them you already have, if not can try and find out his address and take civil proceedings against him you will have to pay for the initial proceedings against him but you can claim for these as well as your money back for the car otherwise you maybe better off contacting the police if you think its been ringed you can also pop in to your local post office where they should have a v5 you then fill it out and send it to the dvla with a letter of statement form you in regards to the car

Oh Dear!! Buying a car without a V5.... Whoooopsss!
Time to contact DVLA, and find-out if it is stolen.
Never buy a car without the V5.
I could tell you were pretty dim anyway, as the past tense of 'buy' is 'bought', and not 'brought'

ooooh very dodgy indeed. You can apply for a new V5 through the DVLA for a small fee... BUT get it police checked first as it could be stolen and the guy has just ripped you off.

Sounds dodgy - I wouldn't have exchanged cash until I saw it in my greasy palm, but since you have already done the dirty deed, I think that the responsibility lies with the previous owner until the DVLA have been notified of the change of owner. You might be ok.

He has had you Im afraid. I hope it wasn't expensive. The car is stolen probably, and even if it wasn't you cannot prove that you own the car. Bad Luck.
HPI the car to find out if it is reported stolen.
