Incorrectly registered import

[dreaddan]

So I've been to look at a new car for the misses which is a gray import but has been incorrectly registered.
Rather than being a Opel Zafira it's down as just a Opel with no description.

Now I dont mind it being a import but having a car not listed correctly has all ready caused some issues with getting insurance quotes.
so would it worry you and is it possible to get it corrected after nearly 10 years?

Thanks
Dan

I wopuld be concerned if the V5 says 'Opal' as well as 'gray' TBH

Leave it, there are plenty of UK registered small MPVs floating around the marketplace.

It wouldnt worry me too much. My Pulsar was just listed as Nissan 2 Axle Rigid Vehicle Didnt really cause any problems and I know of quite a few with similar things on the registration docs.

Everyone knows they've been Starbursts for years now.

Wouldn't worry me but the chance the DVLA will be helpful is NIL

Mine is registered as a Subaru Forester. No mention of turbo. Just make sure your insurance company knows what it is and that part is fine. You might have a problem with tax though. Check here http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ to see what the rate is
