Ask for the model number off the VIN plate.

I've seen one other V3 on an N plate that I looked at a few weeks ago and I was a bit suspicious, as I always thought the V3s were only on P plates, but maybe a few snuck through on a late N plate...

Of course the other alternative is that the car is really a P plate but was registered a few months early to avoid the expense of putting it through an SVA test (has to be done to cars 10 years old or less).

I know this does happen from time to time as it's an option that was offered to me by one of the large import companies

Someone on ebay is trying to sell a V3 as an MY2000 at the moment.

I own a MY96 STI V2 on a P reg.
Code GC8C4ED.
If that helps.
