    Ok so ive been into cars since day 1 but ive been driving since 10 and the cars were my parents and i was on private property and then 13 i got my own car but not on my name just a 100 focus and last year i got a mazda 323 and got into modifying and making it better and gutting taking the airbox off putting on a fake sparco wheel😂 but thats not the point , i brought a car with my parents permission ofcourse and me , my dad and my uncle went to check it out and we liked it so it had the logbook so we decided it would be cool to put my name on the logbook so we did (im 15 btw) , they said there will be no problem but i just wanted to make sure would i have any problems owning it underage like is there a penalty or a fine and it wouldnt matter if was gonna be on a field cause noone would see ot but i like it so much since its a bmw e46 and im obviously keeping it as a road car so of the gards pulled say my dad over (he has open driver insurance) would the gards ask for the logbook and if they see my name would there be a any trouble if so please let me know because ill get it put on my uncles name or my dads name and in what scenarios would you have to show the logbook for anything like road tax , insurance or like i said getting pulled over. I really hope someone has the answer for this since i couldnt find it anywhere ,thanks in advance

    OP there is nothing wrong with having a car registered in your name before the age of 18, I've had plenty.

    If your dad or uncle are driving it around, once they have a form of insurance that will cover them on it (3rd party extension or a trade policy) and the car has tax and NCT then there's no problem.
