Al, I don't know much about the process in UK, however, I would think that the "Authority" would want some evidence of identification of the frame to be registered. This would be the Frame number stamped on the steering stem.
For Z1's manufactured Jan 1973, the number should be around Z1F-05000. Somehow there are records, supplied by Kawasaki, of the frame numbers associated to different years & models. I know because once, when I was short on money, I thought I would call my Z900 a Z400 for cheaper registration. The system came up with "ERROR... This is a Z900 1976".

Al you'll need to get a dating certificate/letter to confirm the year of manufacture.
I'm pretty sure Jerry can do this for you.
