Default Is there anyway to tax my car without the V5? urgent...

as above.

the car was sitting for 3 years.

Im fully insured, and it passed its MOT this morning.

Went into post office with my MOT cirtificate, new keeper slip (still waiting for my logbook to come through), and a letter from my inssurance company with my policy details on it but he said i needed to have my cirtificate of inssurance as its a legal document.

All my inssurence documents are online so i dont have a paper copy of it.

and i cant get tax online as i dont have my full V5.

from the DVLA website on obtaining tax in person at a post office or DVLA local branch;


"You will need:
  • Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement
  • a completed V10 'Vehicle licence application'
  • insurance certificate or cover note – must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
  • valid MOT certificate - if the car or motorcycle is over three years old - must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
  • the payment for vehicle tax (not needed if your vehicle is exempt from paying vehicle tax)"
IMO a letter from my inssurence company that clearly states I have a policy with them in force, with a policy number etc, Could be deemed as a cover note???

What can I do?

Cheers
