As an aside, is there any way to tell how yours is listed? Is it in the logbook?

Log books in Ireland are slightly different to the DVLA ones when I compare the uk I have and the irish registered 850. Still worth checking out again this evening when I get home.

Ah didn't read that you're in Ireland. Shame there's no Irish equivalent.

I have a very obscure variant, if not the rarest V70 of all, one of them. Only six made. My log book and hence registration has it as a 'common or garden' V70. Depends on how vigilant whoever typing out the model was on the day. Clearly in my case, they weren't.
