Talking about the title - ie the V5. Yes, that's entirely correct. Note 
that's not your concept of 'model year'.

>>> Registration date <> model year.

>> There is no such concept as "model year" on a UK registration"

I'll concede slight carelessness on Adrian's part there. He wasn't
actually 
saying Registration date = model year, he was saying registration date = 
year on title - which was what the rest of the relevant message is
referring 
to.

ie

>>> Find a Vette title that states it's an '83.

is easy, contrary to what you have been arguing.

Just think, if you'd not been so obsessed about model year that you 
completely missed the original point, you wouldn't have had to go through 
all this argument...
