When I bought the Mustang, I insured it with our company insurance and as part of the process I sent an insurance cover note to the dealer in order that they could register/tax the car.
However, they gave my address as the address of the company, which is not correct as its my own private vehicle. Didn't know this until I received the V5C in the post at work today.
It needs changing, but if they change the address, will I be listed as the second owner?
Also, the car is listed as "Anglia (new shape)"

Ah, I realise that, but on the current V5C, there is no actual named person, just the company name. So if I send it back with changes, the named keeper will change too, not just the address.
I'm fick but not that fick....

Keep a PHOTO COPY of the First V5 and show it to the next potential OWNER when you come to sell, and explain that you work for / own the company.
Or am I too fecking simple too ?
Yeah - just amend it without filling in the change of owner details. If you fancy, pop a covering letter in with it.
As a matter of interest, I recently received my V5C to replace the old V5 and for the hell of it checked it all very thoroughly.
Imagine my suprise when I found that the VIN was incorrect and had been wrong on the V5 too. The girl at the DVLA office where I registered the car must have made a typo when copying it off the CoC.
I was a tad worried that I wouldn't be able to change it and would get in grief whenever I come to sell the car, but DVLA accepted the correction without comment! Phew.

The V5 shows the car as being owned by the company, as does the insurance? If you change the ownership details to yourself personally you may well find you are not insured! Be careful.

As far as I know (and i'll be checking), the insurers know that the car is privately owned. I think its just a cock-up on the dealers part, 2+2=5, without asking....
