More legal intricacies!

Another question, of a semi-locost kind!

I have just sold my RWD Peugeot 205 rally car, less it's running gear. The engine was a Vauxhall 16v XE. I changed the logbook to read the vauxhall engine number, but now I have removed the engine and put it in my grasstrack racer (and before the peugeot it was in my Opel Manta, and originally it came from a s-rec vehicle at the breakers!!!!!!)

How do I inform the DVLA that I have sold a car less the engine, and that the engine is now in an off-road vehicle, but may be transferred to a locost in the not-too-distant future.

These f**ing legalities....doh! I know they are to stop theft etc, but it makes it difficult to cater for the extraordinary!

do you not have a vehicle to put the engine into, or one to atleast say it is in? i would send a letter with the v5, and tell them you kept it. Not too important i guess but its more fool proof if you can say 'its now in this car' and hence get a new logbook with the numbers all matching up.

Rang the DVLA at Swansea and they basically said the same as you, mark up the V5 when I sell the rally car to explain that it is sold less engine.
