New car has arrived early - should I register it now or wait until January?

I recently ordered a new car. I was given a January delivery date, but the car has now arrived early. Would it be better to wait until 1 January to get it registered or will it make no difference in the long term having a 16/66 to sell rather than a 17/66?
