How to tell if shell is genuine

I've got a 4x4 cosworth, but every time I try and insure it you give them the number plate and it comes up as a sapphire ghia, is this normal or do I have summert dodgy going on?

That seems strange and it would need to be corrected (which means the premium will increase)

As said what does the log book say, I assume it's not a replica?
