ETIS does not give the model spec. If it has LX on the door then it is more than likely an LX. A zetec would have that bdge on the door. Does it have alloy wheels, electric door mirrors, bumper fog lights if it does not then it is not a zetec.0

Why not just phone the insurance company concerned, give them the registration and ask for their opinion/advice?====0 -
This reg number does not come automatically.
Secondly , I contact DVLA they do not have any model information over there.
Insurance company do not want to give any advice.0 -

On the ETIS site ZETEC is the engine design NOT the model.
ETIS does show the model.. But.
They use series numbers to define the model. What series number is your car?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
