Yeah I've sold like this before. Signed receipt, cash in hand/bank. Hand them the new keeper tear off section, online V5 form the next day.

Once you have cash what are you worried about?

I've literally sold every car I've owned, which is over 40 now, this way.

It's no different to before the online transfer became available. You'd just sent off the completed v5 and wait for the DVLA to lose it, when it arrives and start trying to find you for not telling them you sold the car!
