Mk IV as Model type on Log book?

[AC Ventura]

Do any AC MK IV owners have the listing on their V5 as follows?
   
   MAKE: AC
   MODEL: Mk IV (or Cobra Mk IV)
   
   Mine has only
   
   MAKE: AC
   MODEL:
   
   I sent off log book with letter from Alan F-S, stating car was indeed a Mk IV, but they say they have no SMMT code for the Mk IV as a model type.

Thanks and that pretty much how mine came back (w/o CRS)
   
   But it's not quite right is it?

At least your manufacturer isn't down as AC(Electric)!

Precis from the latest FBHVC Newsletter:
   
   There has been no progress regarding vehicles where the DVLA database, and thus the V5C has an incorrectly shown Make, often because the Model is incorporated into the ‘Make’ field.
   
   DVLA say that the problem arises because it is apparently possible to manually enter a ‘Make’ into the relevant field, but not to manually enter the ‘Model’. So far, all suggestions from us as to how to solve the problem have been deflected by DVLA as not practical. That may indeed be technically the case.
   
   Our position is that in respect of a number of historic vehicles, some of them just recently put onto the British register, the VES is currently not fit for purpose as a modern Government customer-facing digital system.  We will continue to energetically batter our heads against this difficult wall.

FYI, and just to add additionsal fuel to the fire, mine has ACAutokraft as maker, and nothing in the  model field.
