I think you’re out of luck as it's usually the registered date. One way out is to get an utter bucket for spares for a couple of hundred and
take its docs, then grind of the chassis number on the backbone and stamp the old cars number. Not that I've ever done anything like that, cough
beetles have very few identifying numbers by the way...

The chassis number will give you the year of manufacture should have ten digits if the car was built in the 70s , the third digit is the year example
1132345675 is a 1973 car

I believe that you can get tax exempt if you have proof of manufacture before the cutoff date, even if it was registered afterwards.

if he's only out by two weeks I expect it was built before. So he should be in luck 
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.
