Why do you need to have proof, just ask DVLA for a new registration document.

The registratioin document does not have to be in the owner's name, just the registered keeper's name.

The receipt shows you are the owner.

My daughter has just had a car re-possessed because the previous owner still owed money to LOGBOOK LOANS. It appears that LOGBOOK LOANS held the original logbook and that the previous owner had obtained a relacement from the dvla so that he could sell the car on.

The heavies that reclaimed my daughters car also warned that an HPI check does not tell that money is still owed to LOGBOOK LOANS.
