no, you will need to go into the Post Office when you want to Tax the car - you can't do this online or by Post - they will change it there and keep the V5 ... DVLA will then post you a new one stating PLG

Sorry, but the original quote from August 1980 Car & Driver is "sports car" as a headline and ".....sports car, mate." in the text! The car is in "black and white" but is in fact Triton Green.......
