In the end the registration process took less than a week.
My application was dealt with really quickly by the good people at Northampton DVLA. A chap called me Tuesday morning to arrange an additional inspection performed by the DVLA. As I said before, I wasn't overly keen about this but there was no avoiding it. In fairness, the guy at the DVLA was really nice and recognised my frustration.
Wednesday morning had me off to the DVLA again. It took 25 mins to load the car to the trailer, 20 mins to get to the DVLA office, 30 seconds for the inspection, 2 minutes of chit-chat, 20 mins trip home and 25 mins to unload the car. All in a round trip of about about 90 mins for a 30 second VIN check... which had already been done by VOSA at significant cost to me.
Full credit to the Northampton office: the day after I had my inspection, I received my registration number and tax disc. Therefore, tomorrow I will get my number plates, tell Richard Egger (my insurance provider) and I've got myself a road car!
Nothing to it...
