I tried to get an exact manufacturing date for my car when I imported it last year, but couldn't get any information out of Honda, either UK or Japan. They seem very reluctant to put anything 'offical' in writing.
Many have established the date of their cars by stamps or manufacturing dates on parts of the car, however this won't hold much water with the DVLA.
If you do get anywhere with Honda Japan, I'd be interested in the contact details please.
