Can someone advise if I'm missing something here?

I sent off a retention for a car which was registered on 01/09/2014 with a private plate.

They have sent back the retention certificate and an amended log book with an LX14XXX number. Date of registration shown on the log book is definitely 01/09/2014.

Surely it should be issued with a 64 plate? Someone who I've sold the car to wants to come collect it next weekend... if I call up DVLA first thing on Monday and I likely to get them to churn out a replacement in time?

What baboons arghhh!

Update - They have confirmed it was an administrative mistake and I need to post the logbook back to them for it to be re-processed!

God knows what to tell the insurance company... best I just don't drive it till its back (don't want to pay 2 lots of Admin fees because of DVLA's cock up!)
