if person 1 sold person 2 a car without a V5 doc, then roughly 2 weeks later person 2 sold it onto person 3 still without v5, then less than 2 days later person 3 sold it to person 4 but gave person 4 a written receipt, signed and dated the 12th (yesterday). if any speeding tickets or the likes of came up who'd be getting it??
just person 1 has been trying to get it out his name asap (obviously)
basically im person 3 and my mates person 2. confusing i know  but iv passed person 4's details onto person 1 for him to give/send the v5 onto but what if he wants it out of his name the day he sold it to my mate? technically my mate (person 2) never really owned it  but the new owner (person 4) has a receipt with my name, address, details and most importantly the date...
if a speeding ticket or a hit and run (whatever) comes up and the idiot who forgot to give the V5 on blames me am i liable
ahh man. reading it back even confusing the shit out of me

Whoever's name its in at the time is liable.
You can also write to the DVLA to tell them you no longer have the car, doesn't need to be done via a V5. Just send a letter to DVLA, Swansea SA99 1BD and tell them what is going on.
Its also an offence to not notify that its changed hands so be careful you don't write anything down which will get anyone in to trouble for not declaring it.

nice one
so IF anything ever came back and i was accused of something bad i hadn't done couldent i just say 'i didnt sign that, iv never seen the car' etc...
i insured it for the sub 48hours i owned it so i suppose that'd come down on me
best just write the letter to the DVLA anyway

If you insured it then you can't really say later than you've never heard of the car.
Each person speaking from their own point of view should write separately detailing what happened.
Problem you'll have is one or more of those people has committed an offence. There might be a solution which doesn't incriminate anyone but you'll need to work together on that.
Either way if you've been using it on the road I wouldn't go saying you've not.
