This might be a bit of a strange question, but I've got a friend who wants to buy a new car for delivery early Sept to get the new '62' registration plate, BUT - she lives in Leeds but wants the new car registered in London so that the registration plate will start with an 'L' (the London local memory tag). Apparently it's a good-luck/positive energy thing unlike the 'Y' for Yorkshire which isn't (I did say it was a strange one!)

Other than my advice to just do the deal through a London based dealer... is there any reason why her local dealer in Leeds couldn't register her new car through a London DVLA office by post?

Or could the dealer supply her with the paperwork so that she can register the car at the London Stanmore DVLA Office herself?
