Would it effect the insurance ?
I suppose it depends what the insurance company sees at their end as far as when they bring up your cars details on their screens , I don't know what information sources they use

Doesn’t say on data card , it says through loading with full external running sun roof.

It’s saloon on v5 my insurance showed estate spent all afternoon trying to sort it , in the end they refunded my money and I had to change companies. Strange every site brings it up as saloon but Hastings only can get it as an estate.

'93 500SL-32, '01 W210 Estate E240 (RIP), 02 R230 SL500, 04 Smart Roadster Coupe, 11 R350CDi
The VIN is definitive.
Look at the VUN. AAABBBCCCxxxxx
AAA is Mercedes (Daimler Benz etc), BBB is the model major type, CCC is the model subtype. The subtype is usually different for estates, cabriolets etc.

For example WDBW10262 is Germany, Daimler Benz, model 210, sub model 262. The 262 denotes E240 estate.

W166 Ml63 AMG with performance package
My last car,full fat range rover supercharged, came back with an insurance certificate as being a sport,I queried it with the broker and they said not to worry about it and that it was covered.

Something to do with their system.
