DVLA lists wrong engine size - Should I worry?
Discussion
Hi - I'm about to join the ranks of MX5anboys, this weekend hopefully :-)
I've found a car I'm really interested in - secured it until Saturday, got insurance quote ready to purchase etc. SWIM has done an askMid check and it shows up as uninisured - fair enough, but I also checked the DVLA website and the car is listed as having a 9999cc engine. The advert lists it as a 1.6 so is this something I should worry about, or just the DVLA being themselves? I feel like I can't really say to the seller "I've checked it out with the DVLA etc" so I wanted your thoughts. Otherwise the car looks brilliant - best colour (MB), no rust (it's a Eunos) and really clean & tidy from the photos, along with very low mileage (approx 90,000). In short, I don't want anything to dampen my enthusiasm!
Cheers.

Dont worry it is a common fault with imports,especially grey ones,they also make mistakes with brand new cars by making a Audi A4 an Audi A5 cabriolet. You can tell them what has happened and see what they say but I know years ago they used to say that they dont make mistakes,and that was that.
