WTF has the V5 got to do with it? If GM didn't make any '83 model year
'vettes 
then there aren't any. Period.

IF one was registered in the UK in 83 then it'd be an 82 or earlier model
on a 
   Y-suffix or A-prefix plate or maybe an early 84 model year (or later)
on an 
A-prefix plate.

As Snappo said: Registration date <> model year.

Registration date DOES NOT EQUAL model year for the hard of understanding.
If 
you bought a new 'vette in 83 it was the 82 model year car. It is possible

that they launched the '84 model before the end of 83 - as I said I can't 
remember when GM model years start - so there could be an 84 registered in
83.

Because...

REGISTRATION DATE DOES NOT EQUAL MODEL YEAR

And once more to ram it home:-

REGISTRATION DATE DOES NOT EQUAL MODEL YEAR
