Not surprised really as RAs are only jap in classic form (doesn't mean you can insure it as a gl though ).
My V5 only states manufacturer no version or variant (i've got a 93wrx)

it says gl 2l 4wd and its 380bhp+ lol

loads of imports get put down as GL - DVLA seem to have screw loose

my first WRX MY95 was, it seems quite common

Yes, extremely common, but easily corrected.

DVLA just make it up as they go along, as far as I can tell. Certainly the V5 is anything but an accurate way to identify a car - my JDM STI was registered as a "Subaru GC-GDB" (or something like that), I just wrote back and spelled I-M-P-R-E-Z-A for them in nice, clear block capitals.

Simon 69

Actually: Subaru GDB identifies the model absolutely (its from the JDM applied model number). I do see your point though.

My RA is a GL too, had a MY93 and that logbook said it was a Jailing
