Thanks to those who responded. Just by way of conclusion, this is what I found out elsewhere. The details can be wrong and it doesn't make any difference. This includes the registration number too. The officer just needs to add a suplementary statement to correct whatever was wrong on the FPN and it is accepted. My source was a police officer I know who has actually done it. I hope this will help clarify this sort of thing for others who might enquire.

Not really, but they were made by the same company and they do have a lot of common parts. That's why I'm asking this question. I don't remember mentioning speeding anywhere, but conclusions are there for jumping to I suppose. I just asked a simple question, "If the police put inaccurate information on a FPN (wrong type of vehicle) is it still valid, or can it be challenged?" There are many instances where the police have to follow proper procedures and get things right, I'm simply asking if anyone knows if this is one of them.

Just that they put the wrong vehicle type - they put it down as a Rover 75 when it was a MG ZT.

If the police put inaccurate information on a FPN (wrong type of vehicle) is it still valid, or can it be challenged? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for that. It shows they are in the wrong, yet they persist in doling out penalties. Section 8.35 is particularly revealing. Why won't they learn from all the previous complaints. Surely it can't be too difficult to get it right.

Thank you. It took a bit of reading but they're clearly in the wrong.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at the location. I've been trying to find something on-line to quote to the parking department but have been unsuccesful. Do you know where I might find it please?

Thanks for the reply. It is the Moreland Road end next to the park. It is just this end that is not marked properly. The rest of the bay from the blue car is properly marked on the road surface right down to where it ends at the junction with Woodsley Road. The first sign showing it is resident parking is on a lamp post 35 yards from where the the poorly marked double yellows finish. This, presumably, is where the bay markings should start. The resurfacing looks to be where they have done into the junction when they did Moreland Road. It looks much newer. More pics:

Can anyone tell me if these zones are illegal if the markings are not complete please? The image shows the situation on the ground and there are no signs on posts adjacent to the spot, although there are proper markings and signs further down the road. The location is Belle Vue Road in Leeds.
