YES.....
true to their word, dealer just called to say DVLA had acknowledged request to transfer my private reg from my current Scirocco onto the new Golf, and gave the dealer the green light. So collection is definitely this Saturday - the days can't go fast enough
Considering the car only arrived in the UK last Tuesday afternoon, and the V55 was acknowledged on Friday last week which is when they were the allowed to apply for the V5 and plate transfer, so that's just 2 working days. Kudos to DVLA.
