I'm having problems getting insurance sorted on my truck. It's a 90 v8 but been built from range rover bits. Logbook is all accurate but insurance companies are saying it comes up as a range rover on the number plate.

Just tried compact the monkey and it indeed shows up as a range rover. Any suggestions? Surely a copy of the v5 would do?

Thanks. I'll speak to DVLA. They may well say v5 is correct and update the online widget thing that insurance is using
