I had a problem with my logbook as well, altough not as extreme, if you vin code is correct then you can solve this quite easily. Give your VIN number to subaru UK and ask them to send you a letter of the car specification with Subaru UK stamp and signatures.

You will then need to fill out field #7 ( Changes to your current vehicle) in your V5 and send subaru's letter and your V5 to DVLA.

It can cause some serious problems with the police if you dont take care of this and it's not a joke, i wonder how you just bought a car like this.

mine says impreza 2.0R. I have a 93wrx. It makes no differences so long as you insure it properly.
I would correct the colour with them though.

Nothing unusual there fella imported quite a few cars and what ever you put down on the form is what they will print on the logbook.

You will need to correct the colour, that could draw attention from the Police, they stopped a mate of mine for that a few years back, no real issue, they just wanted to make sure the car wasn't stolen or cloned.

My log book for my Type R just listed it as a Subaru Coupe!
