Don't suppose DVLA's computer would overlook the 2 days and doubt
whether the garage will backdate their ownership of the car.
Is this a real issue now, then (genuine question - have I missed
something? Just that I found myself in the identical position to the OP
a few months ago (deal was scheduled for 30th of previous month, but my
insurance co screwed up and failed to get the new cover note to the
dealer in time so they couldn't release the vehicle - something to do
with it being ex-Motability).
Anyway I decided to take a flyer for the trip to the dealer, and (I
thought) got away with it... am I to believe that the DVLA computer may
still come knocking at my door, then? :-(

David, absolutely no idea. I reckon you are probably safe after a few
months but now cars have to be either taxed or sorn all the time I
prefer to play it safe.
