to an English chap living in France!

He's paid me without even seeing it and asked me to get LHD headlights and a towbar fitted for him!

Do I just fill in section 11 of the V5? I've never sold a car to someone from abroad before!

There is a bit on the V5 regarding permanent export, dont know if this is the section to which you are referring. If so then yes, fill that bit in.

 

[Salisburylander]

Yup! That's the one!

Yup! That's the one!

And for you to be completely secure you should prepare yourself a sale document which specifies:

The full name and address of seller and buyer;

The full details of the vehicle, ie reg number, VIN and description;

The actual date and time the sale takes place.

Then both of you sign it and each has a signed copy.

I buy a number of cars in the UK and always prepare this style of document (in French and English). The registered keeper then sends a photocopy of this with the export slip to the DVLA to ensure that they are no longer responsible for the vehicle and any traffic infringements linked with it.
