Default V5 log books for imports

What does yours say? Never noticed before but all mine says is:

Manufacturer - Subaru
Model - Impreza

... but doesnt specify that its a WRX, is this right?

Has the engine CC correct and chassis numbers etc

So what would be the stance for an insurance company if it was insured say a WRX and you actually had an STI?

As am sure there only a handful of Imprezas that are 100% as they came out of the factory, someone not in the know could think theyre getting an WRX and end up with an STI (or vice versa) and end up insuring the wrong car

I had Impreza CC on mine when its a STi 555! It also said it was manufactured in 1999 when it was actually a 1996! I had to get a letter off a Subaru dealership stating what the model and year actually was then the DVLA changed it over for free on the V5.

My JDM Hatch S-GT has Impreza R on the V5 which covers a broad range of cars.
