Is it a 16v?
The SRi am getting is M-reg and I just tried to do a insurance quote for it to check it out but the idiot at work gave me the wrong plate.
I thought K-reg and L-reg SRi's are 8v and anything beyond that is 16v
Or is there a transition period on M-plate so the early M-plates are 8v's and the later ones are 16v.
Views?
Thoughts?
Experiences?
Regards
