Purchased a car with no peperwork
Discussion
Well, kind of.
It came from auction (BCA - so reputable) with no plates or "paperwork". Not sure yet if this included the v5 or not.
Supposing there is no V5 with the car what can i do?
I can prove ownership, but the only other thing i have to go on is a broken partial of a personal plate "66ONE".
The car is also a non runner, but that's another story.

I think you have missed the point - he doesn't know the 'full' plate. I'd suspect that plate may have been transferred off the vehicle prior to it's sale - but maybe it's a start.
A plate cannot make a vehicle look any newer than it is - so that might give you a clue as to whether it is A66ONE or B66ONE etc.
I suggest using the dvla online vehicle enquiry and try various combinations along with the marque that is needed on that site until you hit the right one.
Then you can just apply for the V5C
If it turns out to be just 66ONE I think you have got yourself a plate with a small value attached to it.
Also have look around the car to see if there is an old tax disc discarded somewhere that'll give the plate

Safe to say that "no paperwork" would definitely include the V5C.Prizam said:

Except, of course, the plate's the thing they most want...

I think I'd start off by putting some time into trying to work out the whole plate.I presume it's a letter O rather than a zero in the partial - "xx66 ONE" or "x660 NEx"? Chuck the plate into one of the parts factor's sites that'll decode it to the car - mister-auto.co.uk is one - until you get a match, or (given that you know what marque the car is) DVLA's tax lookup. You _might_ not get anything, of course, if the lookups have already been updated with whatever the plate's been transferred to.
Assuming it's a letter O, then you're looking for...
66 ONE (1 possible)
166-966 ONE (9 possibles)
(A-Y)66 ONE (21 possibles)
(A-Y)166-966 ONE (189 possibles)
So a total of 220 possible plates.
If it's a zero, with one character missing from each end, then you've got a chunk more possibles.

I hope it was cheap...Edited by TooMany2cvs on Friday 6th June 11:29
Got the car for about half its running value... Im hoping to get it running will just mean putting petrol in it. *hoping*
A little research shows that K66ONE is on a BMW 730d. Very simaler to the car i have purchased.
If the private plate has been transferred away, how do i get the original plate back?

Not sure that "very similar" is good enough... and putting petrol in a 730d is definitely not a good plan... A little research shows that K66ONE is on a BMW 730d. Very simaler to the car i have purchased.

It'd be back on there automagically, or at least an age-related if it'd never had a "normal" plate assigned from new.Edited by TooMany2cvs on Friday 6th June 13:12
