You already know the answer. The Judge is going to ask if you made a U turn, not, what year is your car. Then he is going to ask to Officer if he can identify you in open court. To satisfy your question, the answer is no.

As stated above - that kind of error will not get you off. If everything was ENTIRELY wrong, then maybe you would have a case.
In the 1990s, when I lived in Louisiana - I received a letter in the mail from New Orleans. It stated I owed on a parking ticket. The vechle description that was given in the letterw as one I never even owed. But it had my license plate.
It took a while to clear it up - but it was discovered that the officer must have keyed in a plate number mistake. I could prove it wasn't me as they could check my plate # and see itw as on MY car - not the one listed. I got out of that.
But, in your case. Sorry. You will have to pay.

No. Most states have laws that protect the officer in the event in incorrect information. About the only yhing they need to get right is your name and the violation they ticketed you for.

Go to court and if you think that evidence will either show you didn't do it beyond a reasonable doubt, or create reasonable doubt, then use it.
But I am guessing there is plenty of other evidence that will be presented too :)

I got a ticket once and the policeman put the wrong date. When I went to pay it I told the clerk that the date was wrong and they dismiss the ticket. You can try. Maybe it will work for you too. Good luck.

No. You broke the law, not your car. Man up and take responsibility for your actions.

No, the turn is the problem, not the year of your car.

NO. Clerical errors do not invalidate a ticket.
