As touched upon above by Lippy, you may get the car before 3 months, but if you don't have the V5, then legally (and also for insurance purposes), the car is not yours.
Demos are often bought on special deals from the importer / manufacturer and have defined times before the dealer can transfer ownership, so even if you have the metal on your drive, the V5 may still be in the dealer's or manufacturer's name until that time is up.
