Yup.

I have a 1962 VeloSolex that says on the V5 that it was first registered
in 
1999.

As long as it still meets the then-current standards for new vehicles, it 
can (and usually would) be registered as a new car. I know of several cars

that were first registered several years after the end of production. Have

a google for mention in the UK car groups of "Y2K RS" - a Sierra Cosworth 
first registered in 2000, IIRC.

What's it matter, anyway?
