selling a car not registered to you

[lord trumpton]

If I bought a car and didn't register it in my name, kept it a few months till the tax expired and sold it on could I get into trouble?

Its all hypothetical but wondered if this car be done say a few times a year, make a small profit and avoid getting into any legal trouble?

Its obviously playing the system a bit and playing at being a trader without the costs etc

I know its not the done thing but I'm asking about the legal standpoint and what could happen?
