I have urgent need to pick up a vehicle and need to really get the whole job done in a day, is it possible?

I'll be making several viewings, mostly private, After the usual checks and a test drive if acceptable drive the car home immediately.

With the tax changes I'll need to tax it immediately online from my phone. Is this possible without the V5 in my name?

For insurance is it best to have a saved quote ready to go and if the deal is made then a quick call and make it live?

My wife has the ability to drive other cars with only 3rd party, but I assume that the car in question would require a full policy by someone else for this to apply?

Are there any easier ways to do this (without returning later), have I missed anything, any tips?
