Can I appeal a parking ticket over a minor technicality?

I was parked in a park car park recently and when I returned one hour later I had received a parking fine. The ticket states my car as a Land Rover, which is correct, but the model is wrong. Instead of writing Defender, they have written ‘Black’ and no such model exists. Can I appeal over the fact they have got the model wrong?
