I think they were described wrongly by the person who applied for the V5 when they were imported. It was an easy way to get cheap insurance!
I imported a motorbike from japan myself, I could have registered it as anything I wanted as there was no inspections etc.

That would obviously be the end result of course! That's probably why we (the genuine people) all have to pay so much for insurance. I've seen so many import turbo cars coming in through Dublin port and are registered as something totally different.

Think yours would be ok, at least it's down as a turbo! My mate had a ST200 Mondeo which was a Si24 valve on the V5, the insurance was cheaper because of this. The best part is the car was ex police and had been registered from new by them lol!!!

List the Applied Model Code and we can tell you exactly what it is.
The model code is printed on the plate above the suspension strut under the bonnet on the passenger side.
