Of course. No ID is required, we don't have ID cards or anything like the French   . They'll actually be so terrified of getting sued for racisim they'd sell this rubbish to a Martian. It's a tax. If you say you want to pay they'll take your money.
You can actually do the insurance on-line from an internet cafe or hotel reception, they'll mail a PDF of the cover note same day. The insurance is invalid if you lie about the address so make sure you are covered by the green card from Germany or whatever in case you do crash, this paperwork is only there to grease the wheels of the tax system if you lied to get it.
Your seller is been a PITA because if you decided to stay a few years, claim the dole, have a free Kidney transplant, go through the tax cameras over the limit, assasinate the Queen etc. he's going to get all the hassle. Facts don't worry the DVLA, if his name is on the paperwork they'll send the boys round after his cash.
I guess this vehicle is special? No chance of buying one with 6 months Tax and MOT somewhere between Heathrow and Dover?
