I had the different problem. The VIN number didn't show up. I had to describe the car to them and show them the sales contract. I guess it's so brand new and a bit rare it hasn't register in their system yet.

"Miss, the car is a 1981 M1, correct?".

Priceless.

Haven't been this giddy in the passenger seat of a car in a LONG time.
