Tidgy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 If insurance clock it your buggered basicly. Need to get it changed over by the DVLA to read correct, then insure to suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Your fooked ! Mines down as a forester sport on the logbook but when I tried to insure it the 1st time everyone kept coming back saying it was a GL. I presume it's due to turbo fozzies not being available over here until 98/99 . I did tell flux at the time that it was an s turbo and they quoted me accordingly when the docs turned up it was down as a gl again. So being the honest person I am called them up and it cost me an extra 150 for the privilege but at least I was all above board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef--B Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 my '94 WRX i had about 13 years ago came up as a 1.8GL too - i put it down to someone in the DVLA making an error or previous owner being fly. The logbook stated what the car was correctly though so was just a matter of explaining to insurance company the correct model and going from there. Would've been nice to have only paid the premium for the 1.8GL but it's best to be legal!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
