Thinking ahead to '10' plate registrations

I'll be collecting my car from a VW dealer in London sometime in March (but I actually live in Leeds) so I guess my default my reg will be L* 10 ***.
Does anyone know if its possible for a dealer to remotely (or by post) register the car with another DVLA branch? I'm thinking either an office local to me in Leeds, or a Glasgow DVLA office that could do a SC 10 *** type registration number?
Cheers.

you would need to purchase a plate from the DVLA in advance to do this I believe smithy. see

fyi: SC is assigned to the Glasgow office (

If you're thinking of SC10 CCO it seems to have already been sold.

SC10 ROC would be the next best one I think, but I've not checked if it's sold yet or not. '10 plates went on sale on the DVLA website in December...

Thanks for your replies and the links. On reflection I'm not that fussy about a SC 10 *** type registration but at a pinch would prefer a Yorkshire reg (YA etc.) over a London one.
Rather than stumping up cash for a specific Y* 10 *** plate, does anyone know if I can ask my London dealer to register the car with a Yorkshire DVLA office and get that office to give up whatever random Yorkshire plate takes their fancy?
Cheers.

I very much doubt they would do that smithy, they will just have a pre assigned list from the local office. getting a reg from another dvla office will most likely just be considered far to much hastle imo.

Sorry to say iAmbu but I bought SC10ROC
way back on the 01st December, the day all the '10' regs went live. And it was a scrum, phone lines were jammed, website overloaded, I was lucky
I was going for SC10RCO but that sold in like 2seconds.....
If you want a Y something-aruther, theres this one YC10 ROC still for sale.

Or wait six months to a year and I will probably sell mine, as I bought it on impulse, and will prob get bored with the reg
Say how do you make clicky links on this forum?
