Thanks, I guessed it wasn't going to be quick and the lack of a reg' document makes selling trickyWorcester_spoon wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 5:44 pm One going through right now. It’s been 3 weeks so far and nothing yet.

I bought an X3 for Mrs Boris a month or so ago. Initial log book came back in exactly two weeks, I then put a newly purchased private plate on it and the log book with the new number came back in about 3 days !

A quick update, hats off to DVLA I did the plate swap on-line and the new log book arrived 4 days later!

I had a similarly good experience at the start of June when I put a different plate on my MX-5. I also used the online service.
