retrieving a logbook
Turbo Mini Forums

Alright Gents, i need to get a new logbook for a mini i now own, but the logbook is original, last owner was 1971, how do i go about getting a new style one? went in the post office ask help, he was fucking useless. i can get pics of the car and all that..

cheers chaps

You'll need to get a club involved who will confirm the age of the car from the engine/chassis no's and then get it inspected by the dvla, I think you may need to get it to a local office.

I believe as its tax free they will be quite strict on this and they are aware of the various differences that the car should have, thus if you are just trying to get back a tax free bog look the best of luck to you!

use form v62 available at your post office ,fill it in send it off and bobs yer nob ok mate

You'll need some form of original documentation as it won't be on the DVLA's data base since they went electronic in the 80's. An old tax disc or MOT certificate should be fine.

You can see if its on the database by typing the the reg number into the DVLA website to see its tax status.

Your first post post you the logbook is original logbook - do you mean you have an old style one for the car? If so just send that off.

As above, if you have some original documentation there is no problem.

However, I would definitely make sure you get a clear and good quality photocopy of any document before you send away the original to the DVLA.

As above- photocopy everything you send off, I did and needed it last time as DVLA lost it all! So I sent them the copies (made more!) and got all new docs through the post, then 2 weeks later the original ones must have gone through their system as got another lot through!

I have recently used the V62. I bought a bike from a dealer and never received the V5. After 2 months waiting (and in the same time sending off and getting 2 other V5s for cars) I filled in the V62 and got the V5 back a few weeks later. All I had was the little green slip. I did scan it before sending it off though.
