My logbook says my 54 plate blob is a wrx uk300 which i know it isnt so how do i go about getting a logbook that just says its a wrx? any help very appreciated thanks

if its a import, then this is common and not a issue.
if it s a uk car then give the vin to Subaru and ask them to send a letter confirming the model. pass this on to the dvla.

Have you tried contacting the DVLA?

Ring, They are actually quite good, Had to before when a change of address added a keeper and they sorted it right out

Agreed.

They are actually surprisingly good when I have dealt with them. I declared an engine conversion I carried out but they misprinted the engine numbers. Quick phone call and a form filled in in line and the job was sorted. They have always been good with cars I have re shelled/converted etc.

Just noticed you say it says - wrx uk300 on logbook ? So not wrx300 or uk300 but both ?

As stated dvla would be the people to contact

So your car is not a blob WRX300, which was a 54/05 plate car in WR Blue with a few extra bits and some SWRT branding??? pretty sure they come with blue seats with SWRT emblem on them, fog covers with SWRT logo on them, Gold alloys and Tracker as standard and "300" badges on the side and rear!!

I wouldn't bother changing it, to much hassle for something that doesn't matter really, even when you come to sell, I don't think it would matter that much to any potential buyer. Ive had a couple of JDM impreza STi's which just had Impreza on the log book, and no details about what model it was!!

Done this myself with a evo fq 300 previously .
You need to go to the main dealer and get a chassis/ model confirmation letter written by them on letter headed paper . They will want to see the car .This then needs to be sent with the log book to the dvla . They will then alter the model to suit .
It's the only way they will do it . Ring and speak to them throughout to ensure its done correctly
Worked for me and came back listed correctly

On one of my previous classics a v3 sti it was imported in 2003 and they put it on a 53 plate. Just rang them up and had to send a letter with old logbook and they swapped it over within a few weeks

Could the previous owner have removed the parts?? Happens quite often with parts/modifications as most of us know that this could be the best way to get some cash back out of the car.

I had an Impreza which was registered as a gl, it was clearly a WRX, so i rung the DVLA up and they changed it. Think i forwarded a letter aswell. Got no proof, but they changed it no questions asked
