Engine size listed on V5C

#1 Post by falco_phil » Thu Apr 24, 2014 4:09 pm

So I got the paperwork through today for my 'new' falco - and was surprised to find it listed as having a 9976cc engine! I hope the road tax and insurance I'm paying doesn't reflect that DVLA cockup. Does anyone else out there have this problem on their paperwork and do I need to worry about trying to convince the DVLA that they got it wrong? I suppose it would make life easier if I ever wanted to do an engine swap - say from a dodge viper!

Mine is something similar, 9989cc or something like... never had a problem, the insurance goes on make and model, and despite the typo the tax is in the right bracket.
