While checking some alternative insurers,since it is soon for renewal,I was informed by one chap,on giving him some details,that my car is not shown on the files of DVLA as a Volvo 120 but has been deemed to be a
Volvo 544.These were out of production years before my car was made!
Doubtless, if push comes to shove,they will swear blind that I gave them
false information and must pay some exorbitant fine.
The chances of them admitting that they are at fault are minimal.

My documents clearly identify my car as a Volvo 120 estate and have done so since I bought it 35 years ago,Rick.

O-T

I don't know how the DVLA do it.

My Green Rover 2200 TC came back on my first V5 as a white Rover Maestro 6cwt van. This was obviously queried and so they upgraded it to a Rover 220 gti in blue, and finally after about six months was corrected to the description that had been on their computer for the first 26 years of its life.
