Yes unfortunately I purchased the insurance before seeing it, my son's boss got it from a relative and as my son's car has an oil leak and his boss cannot drive he needed my son to be the main driver, so for 3 days apart from the registration and make of the car I had nothing else until the v5 turned up, it states Ford fiesta tdci. 2 axle rigid, 1585kg, light goods vehicle. It came up with insurers as titanium. That evening when it was insured he collected it and brought it home. Unfortunately I couldn't see it as just out of hospital after op. I don't know if it's had modifications the other person bought it as it is in the first place.

On van insurance it comes up as it should some say van some Just say 1.4 Ford fiesta and the correct colour, on the car insurance sites it either comes up as cannot find from ref or titanium? It's definately not a titanium it's 57 plate and has the previous style nose on it. My daughter has a. 55 plate and its the same as that.

You'd have to get it inspected : think seat mountings, seatbelt mountings, etc.

Even then, I'm not sure if they will ever re-classify it from van to car

The HPI system has the wrong details, this has happened to me. Basically it's a van and currently your son is not insured to drive that class.
