What is the shortest time from SVA pass to road tax and number plates???

I know some have had nightmares and others have done it quickly but what is the fastest time and who has done it......
So Far.....

I did mine the day after the SVA pass but I could have done it the same day if the weather was better. I wanted to get home to thaw out!

Next day for me, Bristol DVLA.

As long as it took to get from Chadderton SVA station to Leeds DVLA office[1]

[1] Done in suprisingly good time once we realised the wheels weren't going to fall off

Probably 2 hours or so, DVLA were on the ball too, we were only in there 20mins.

Same day for me

Within 2 hours

But only with extreme amounts of pressure, lots of brow beating and guilt trips

Shrewsbury DVLA for me

1st Indy was 2 weeks

2nd Indy was less than a week i think.

I did hear of a few people doing it all the same day but that was years ago, prob a bit more difficult now. It's better if you can get the car inspected by the DVLA before SVA.

UncleFista 2 hrs 20 mins
Jos 2 hours

Same day back in 2000.
SVA finished about 12.30 pm (first time pass) plates made by 4.00pm, then it pi$$ed down for 3 days

Passed SVA at about 10.30 in Norwich drove down to Ipswich DVLA office where I had made an appointment for the vehicle check and number issued about 20 mins later. Thats back in 2002.
