V5 Car Description - Sparky

I have an imported Alfa 156 and the description of the car model is not 156, but twin axle saloon or something, I sent the V5 back to the DVLA explaining that I expected the model to be a 156 Veloce thinking that they had translated the model badly from the certificate of conformity or something, but they sent my V5 back saying I should get a letter from Alfa UK stating that the correct descritpion of my car is 156 not twin axle saloon.. surely all 156's have a sensible description of the model on the V5 and i am not being silly wanting mine to say 156??
