help needed in confirming age of my Telstar

[meanbow]

Hey all
i really need your help here in confirming the EXACT year of manufacture of my Telstar, so i can have it correctly plated in the U.K
as you may(or may not) know, i have an '83 Telstar 1.6 Ghia with the 4 Spd manual box. there has been no modifications to the vehicle, apart from a partial restore as i go along. now here's my problem...over here in the U.K, my Telstar has been assigned plates from the year of first import, which is '90, giving the car over 6 years difference in age between the vehicle and it's plates. i need to officially confirm the YEAR OF MANUFACTURE to my local liscencing authaurity so it can be re-assigned CORRECT plates for the vehicles true year, and to put right the details of the car. is there any way of doing that at all so it can be correct?

here's hoping...and thanking in advance
