THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT PROOF OF OWNERSHIP.

Oh. But that invoice is easier to forge! I can't remember the last time I checked for proof of sale, either. 
And with a private sale, you just write a note "sold as seen" or whatever. So I could steal a Ferrari F40, then write on a piece of paper "sold as seen" and put the victim's name at the bottom? Cool.

It's the same as any physical item's ownership..And with a private sale, you just write a note "sold as seen" or whatever. So I could steal a Ferrari F40, then write on a piece of paper "sold as seen" and put the victim's name at the bottom? Cool.

You own it, but the V5C isn't a document intended to prove that.
Your purchase invoice proves that.
Not necessarily the owner.Your purchase invoice proves that.
Our Scenic is in my mates name as he drives it. The bill of sale is in our name, backed up by our bank statement.
The keeper is responsible for the legalities like Road Tax, insurance ect
You should not rely on a V5 to prove ownership of a vehicle, that's why I tend to buy trade rather than private, this potential hassle is largely overcome

Probably even more people have cars on HP with the V5 in their name but the Agreement clearly states the goods aren't yours until you have paid for them.
Do you think the government cares who owns a car? Why would they, and why would they want to provide anything to prove your ownership of a car, but not a TV, or a book, or anything else you buy?
They just want to know who to send their bills to: speeding fines, parking charges, excise duty, lack of SORN/insurance, etc.

I think I'll just write up an invoice that says I bought rowan atkinsons NSX, anyone know his reg? 
Why are people having so much trouble with this?Do you have a proof of ownership document for your TV? Your computer? Your fridge? Maybe I can write a fake invoice and take ownership of your TV, LOLOLOL etc. Not.

Does pose an interesting dilema though now that the RK is pursued automatically for umpteen different offences. What's to stop me naming my cat on the V5 or indeed some random stranger at a different address?
TX.
Or your company so you never know who's driving at the time of the offence, for example.TX.
