For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You should have a Registration certificate (V5C) before you sell the car, it is an offence to fail to notify DVLA of a change of keeper, they are tightening up on this. As the vehicle will still be registered in your name then you will still have some responsibility for the vehicle.
You will receive the fines for not taxing it or any speed tickets the new owner incurrs.
You can sell it without a registration document, but do you want all the hassle this may cause you?

You DO have to pay for a lost V5...unless you fall in this catergory: -
❑ I am the new keeper and have the new keeper�s supplement (V5/2 or V5C/2) from the
Registration Certificate. (This MUST be attached to this application form.)
❑ The last Registration Certificate was destroyed by the insurance company because the
vehicle is categorised as �C� salvage.
Otherwise you have to pay. It is clealry stated on the V62 Form

The charge is �25
Just pay the �25 and save ALL the hassle mate. No person with a brain will purchase any car without a V5 Log Book.

Well I too have lost my V5 document and was supposed to be selling car on Friday and picking up new one. Unfortunately I was told that I had to pay �25 for a new one and it would take 3-5 days. Therefore I cannot pick my new car up yet. I'm SO annoyed with myself. I'm off home for a thorough search tonight before I fork out the �25. What a rip-off!!!

quoted from direct gov. no you dont need to pay to get a new one if selling!!!
:
If you no longer have your registration certificate V5C
If you don't have a registration certificate you can still tell DVLA that you no longer have the vehicle.
To do this you will need to write to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1AR giving the:
•vehicle registration mark
•make and model
•exact date of sale
•name and address of the new keeper
However, note that DVLA records won’t be complete until the new keeper tells DVLA in writing. Until they do, the police may need to contact you if they have to make enquiries about the vehicle.
