Simple. The question related to the title claiming a car was an '83 
Corvette. The V5 is our equivalent of the "title".

We have no official concept here of the age of a car other than the first 
registration date.

I think you mean "Full stop".

You continue to miss my point - the V5 would not say it was a 1982 or 1984

car, it would say it was a 1983 car.

> And once more to ram it home:-

THERE IS NO CONCEPT OF MODEL YEAR ON UK "TITLES" (or V5s as we call 'em).

DVLA don't give a flying **** what some 'merkin salesmuppet flogged the 
damn car as twenty years ago.
