check the engine number against the log book.
I'm not sure but I think the original convertibles came with the older engines till quite late so it may have been recorded wrong.
It's no easy matter to install a vvt as the wiring loom/ecu will need to be altered so if there is no obvious wiring bodges and the engine number matches either ignore it or get it changed.
If you decide to get it changed DVLA may want something on paper to confirm it so a headed letter from a local MOT place would probably be enough to confirm the error.

I'm not up on the history of the o2 but did they have a "transitional" model at around that year??
There should be a sticker on the front of the cam cover with the engine number on but yours is missing so you'll need to find the engine number on the block.
I think it's tucked away but I don't know where it is so possibly Martin or someone could explain??
