C3P O-dog

I have written off my type r and sent documents to insurance co but the log book says its a GL! They think i'm taking the **** and its not a type r so offered £2750 (buy the way it defo is a type b4 anyone asks)

I read it was something to do with type approval regs when imported but dunno where i read it! Can anyone help? Its a v4 '98 imported from new. I checked the chassis code and it says it's a wrx type r sti or type r sti v-limited but dvla log book says GL.

Thanks

The chassis number will prove it There's a code for each model. Do you know your chassis number?
