V5 question

OK sold my bandit on ebay, some guy from Poland bought it, checked his feedback and it's 100% he buys bikes over here all the time.

My question is how do I fill the V5 out? I know I have to keep the purrple bit and send that off to the D.V.L.A but is there any other sections I have to fill in.

Cheers AJ

I sold a bike to a guy who took it to Spain.

This is what we did and I remember reading about it and calling the DVLA at the time, they confirmed this

We wrote an export statement on a word doc, where he bought the bike, the VIN, from whom (my address as well) and when. Both of us signed and dated it. (This is so he could get the bike through to Spain and register it there).

We took copies of both our driving licences and addresses. (Again so he could prove who he had bought the motorcycle from).

Gave him the whole V5 but took a photocopy of it in case.

Wrote to the DVLA with my address, Reg + Vin number of sold vehicle, his address details and when the sale was made and that the vehicle was destined for export to spain

Ariba.. 2 weeks later got a letter in the post saying the vehicle no longer registered in my name.

P.S. the VIN needs to match the V5 or he will not be able to register it abroad.

ok thanks for that, lol the guy turned up today, wasnt supposed to be here till tomorrow. He's done it so many times he just took the one side of the v5 and said I got to post the purple section to dvla and thats it.

So thanks for the advice people Thumbs Up

How weird. I was just talkin about this very thing today. I'm picking up my new bike next monday and wondering about the V5. This has pretty much answered it for me.

Cheers.
