The other thing to bear in mind is it may have origionally been a 16v and for whatever reason, has had an 8v lump put in it. Not likely i wouldnt have thought, but possible

mate... u should be telling them where to go if they think u should pay 16v prices for an 8v car!!!

IIRC the 16v is 2 insurance groups higher than the 8v, it sits in the same group as the vr6!!!

following on from what golfpro said: you might wanna make sure the engine numbers on the v5 and the actual engine match, at least that would tell u if the car has the wrong engine in it. but as he said... it is very unlikely that it has had a less powerfull engine put in.

You never can tell, sometimes people do strange things. Maybe a previous owner only had access to a 8v engine and it needed changing quickly for some reason?
