I've a '97 STI wagon, and my V5 has is down as a standard Impreza (wagon).

How would I go about updating the V5 to the correct model?

Would it have to go away for tests etc?

Much cost involved?

Its quite common so I wouldn't worry. My STi4 was recorded as an RB5

I almost bought a ringer Legacy GT that was down as a GL until I noticed that it wasn't registered as an import but a UK car!!!

 

Most imported Subarus have confusing descriptions on the V5. It is only a paper for the DVLA records so chassis numbers are the only true indication of the car type not V5 documents.

 

cheers guys.

I just wanted to get it sorted for when i sell the car (no plans yet)

mine is down as a 22b sti type uk
and the car is a sti 5

 

Another GL here. Sent away the documents last year explaining the error and haven't seen them since.

 

Sent my V5 back when I changed address, and included a short covering letter pointing out my car was a WRX and not a GL.

Car is now correctly registered as a WRX.

 

Didn't Prodrive or Subaru import some (3 or 4) blue print engined STi Imprezas and put them down as GL's 'coz import numbers has been reached by grey imports? But then went and sold them off before developing them?

Some lucky bugger's out there thinking he's pootling around in a GL when really he's in blue print block STi
