You'll have probably noticed that the make 'Alpine Renault' or 'Renault Alpine' doesn't appear on their spreadsheet (I've been looking at 'VEH0220').
Both V5s for my cars just show Renault as the make with a blank space against 'Model'. When I first registered the cars in my name I put the full make and model number information on the application. For whatever reason, this was ignored. The A310 document even shows the Body type as 'Saloon'! At least the A110 is shown correctly as a 'Coupe'.
I notice on the spreadsheet that there are Renault entries with the word 'Missing' under the 'Model' column. The version of the spreadsheet VEH0220 that I looked at shows UK registrations to December 2015 ( I couldn't see the June 2016 that you looked at) and against 'Missing' shows a total of 11,033 cars (petrol) and 18 (other fuel type). I guess that my cars and all the other A110s and A310s are within this total. Possibly some GTAs and A610s also, who knows.
I might, sometime, have another go at getting the data on my V5s entered correctly. It makes me wonder whether the make 'Alpine' is still affected in this country by previous Sunbeam ownership of the name.
1970 A110V85 and 1980 A310V6.
