matchlesswdg3 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) This Landy was reported as stolen some time ago and is now up for sale on eBay (as reported on the Military Lightweight L/R site): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144041146972?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Edited May 21, 2021 by matchlesswdg3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 So what happens in a case like this, would it be reported to the police? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 If it is stolen, good title cannot be transferred no matter what the V5 says. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk3iain Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Has this been reported to police and eBay ? According to the seller he has had it since 2016, I think. Perhaps recovered after the theft ... Maybe post it on the L/W site if not already on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxy Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 This would need a 'software chase' - back to the root & this is the MOD 'Release Note' and receipt from accredited auctioneers / MVS Disposals / Sale by Invited Tender. Then - sequential of any subsequent receipts. On the - Hardware - Engineers report & "Expert Opinion" by someone competent in such matters, that may cost a few £££. On the subject of DVLA Swansea and V5 issue , I can only suggest you read what Daniel J. Beddowes had to say in his book - instigation and requirement(s) of the EU , (the V5 is just a aid to possessory ) that may be true or just fiction.

radiomike7 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Current owner claims he aquired it 13/08/2016 Last logbook change 23/08/2016, do DVLA issue new logbooks for vehicles reported stolen? Last MOT 09/01/2009, one day and 7 miles after failing on excessive structural corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 They should if given details of a Police Crime Ref. No. I was 'reliably informed' , but just hearsay by someone with knowledge of such matters - how it was , but probably not presently ?

MatchFuzee Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 If an insurance company paid out, they should be informed that it is on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Dec. 2012 dated , but gives you details of procedures , there has been changes since - such as some category of 'write-offs' - where previously the vehicle to obtain a V5C needed a VIC (Vehicle Identity Check) , since October 2015 - no need for any roadworthy inspection , so not even a basic VIC. Of course much is the game of the Registered KEEPER , not the true legal owner , you don't think the lease and hire companies register in one of their business names ? , that was / is a taxable bonus for the wives of the directors. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/more_than_one_registered_keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
