i belive there were thousands lost/stolen some time ago hence the change.
when i say "some time" we are talking a year or more,yes a glacier moves faster than any government "orginisation"

Lots of the stolen ones are now turning up and apparently in huge numbers so they had to act.

I haven't received one yet, should I be concerned or just wait and see ?

I didn't know about this but the V5 I was sent back in November for my new car is a red one.

Any second hand car buyer should always check the data held on record against the reg mark on the vehicle. For the <£10 it costs it could save a lot of heartache.
This is advisable when purchasing from a dealer and essential on a private sale.

'Car Data Check' in google will throw up lots of firms who can do it online there and then.

Once you have the data the one most important check is the VIN against A. The (seller's) V5 and B. The information you have gleaned online. If it matches both then all good. If it matches neither or the V5 only then the car could be bogus.

The VIN is the long number viewable through the bottom of the windscreen below where the tax disc goes. This is where it will appear on a Ford, others makes may be different.

The VIN through the windscreen will look something like this:
