Have a look and see what the office hours are and if not, if there's someone you can call to check. Unless you get verification from them one way or the other, I wouldn't drive it. Simply not worth the risk mate IMHO.

Oh and for the record, there's no way in hell I'd take the email you've recieved as proof of cover. A sentiment that would no doubt be shared by the police or courts should anything happen.

if the car has been uninsured prior to this, it takes 2 weeks for the insurance to get through to the police database. any police car that passes you with ANPR during thise 2 weeks will pull you over as their computer automaticaly flags you up as having no insurance. and you are driving a scoob, which is knickable, and a joyriders dream.
when I picked up my current scoob, my old one was still insured and on the side of the road with big end failure. I paid to have the new car added to my insurance for a week so that I could test drive the car and get it home if I decided to keep it. The guy that sold it to me must have been insured to drive anything and not had insurance specificaly for that car as I got pulled over by the rossers. my insurance company was closed so they couldnt phone and check and the cover note that would have been in that mornings post came late, after I had left to get the new scoob. the police told me they had every right to impound the car, even though I may have been insured because there was no way to prove this. The only reason they let me go I think is because I had the insurance certifficate for my dead scoob and I explained the situation and asked them to check that the old scoob was insured and taxed but had no MOT. I explained that this was cuz of the dead engine, hence why I had bought the new scoob. Luckily the guy wasn'ty a dick about it and believed me so he gave me his PC number and told me to give it to anyone else that pulled me over and explain that he had already dealt with it and he let me go. to cut a long story short, untill you get the certificate in your hand, it's not worth chancing it. you will most likely get pulled over and could end up with the car impounded
