This site is pretty smart.
Just register for free, and you can type in the reg plate to see the Model, Date of last Change of Owner and number of owners.

what did it say?
mine does not say gti on the log book but it is,
mine has golf cc convertible cabriolet, i know it is a gti as i have the original sales brocure for it and its called a gti there, so it may be like mine your is a limited edition and therfore listed by its limited status and not by the more general gti

How about getting the chassis number and ringing VW up and asking, might be worth a try  :undecided: By the way, mines a special edition but it still says GTI on the logbook so who knows what the industry norm is with regards to V5 docs and names etc :undecided:
