I was hoping the 'declared manufactured 1981' on the front might have helped
The DVLA will only accept it if the date of first registration is prior to the 7th January 1981.
Unfortunately it won't help sending it off again. As yours is down as 31st December 1981 you would need to provide the dating evidence (I mentioned in a post a few pages back) to prove to the DVLA that the vehicle was manufactured in 1980, which of course it wasn't.
Given the date on your V5, your car will be eligible from 1st April 2022.
