Looks like it is a 1996 car which was registered in the UK in 1997 according to the DVLA. It's possible it was first registered somewhere in Europe for the first few months of its life.

My 850 is a 1997 car, it spent the first two and a half years in Germany where the original owner worked on a military base there. When it came to the UK in 1999 it was registered as Year of manufacture 1997 Date of first registration October 1999

There should be a Type Approval Certificate with the vehicle which states the vehicle is a parallel import and conforms to the Type Approval for UK cars
