My mate just brought a very nice 2l turbo (unsure of model of engine) just has an sti kit on it. Until he told me I didn't realise it was insured as a 2l non turbo. How common is this? Kinda redtop into corsa b common? Or was his more of a one off

by saying this I assumed you asked if it was imported. And it is a jap car and aren't they re registered when they enter the uk?

I've seen this before, was something to do with the way it was imported, car was stolen and he got paid out for whatever lesser model it was insured as

There was no UK equivilent model when the earlier ones were imported so on the Log book they were normally 1.8 or 2.0 GL's..

You can write to the DVLA with the model/trim codes and they will change it..

What models where they? I have had a look on eBay and there are a few completly un registered. So could you buy them and register it as say a 1.8gl?

Note I am not planning on doing a Doyle like this. I am just very surprised it's so easy
