Hi, my name is Rob and I'm new to the forum.
I've recently purchased a 90 which has been professionally converted to a soft top however the V5 still shows it as an Estate.
Should I notify DVLA and if so how do I describe the body type?

I did mine and left it as it was, So no change to the V5.

I just made sure to confirm the change with the insurance company.

Cheers

Thanks Neilly, when I spoke to the insurance company they said their options of description was limited and went with the original model of estate.
Thanks for the quick response.

At the moment it sounds like it should also be LEZ compliant ( worth checking) , So if it is , then I personally would not be notifying the DVLA just in case they get it in their heads to change it in some way and make it so it is no longer compliant. Assuming it is a diesel.

Cheers
