Can I put a private plate on when collecting?

[DSLiverpool]

Ok so my Cayenne distance selling adventure is going well and I'm collecting Monday
I want to put a plate on it I have on retention and "think" I can

Arrive at dealer pay and tax car
Tell my insurance it's old and new plate
Transfer reg online
Put plates on
Drive away

Does that work ?

I think the car has to be in your name on the log book V5C, which it won't be.

I think it needs taxed in your name under old number, this will trigger V5 and once received you can put your number straight on.

I think your right, I cant pre reg it as its a used car I havent seen yet.

Yes, too risky to have that done in advance if you haven't seen it, just in case it's not 100% as described. Log books are coming in very quick, normally 3-4 days a week max, so not too long under normal plate.
