South African import, I am about to get a similar car in the next few months but on a Y registration

When I say similar, exactly the same but its white

Cannot see that it is an import, as it would be a lot later registration date but still on a age related plate as they work from date of manufacture not when it lands in the uk.

I had a Honda once that was an import, the date of first registration in the uk was Feb 06 but it was on a 1999 V plate.

The T reg to me still looks like a car that has stuck around in a dealers.

Did the South African market have the VR as well, all the ones I have see have been 8v's with really strange spec like 1.8 engines, autos etc.

It is a South African manufactured car, and may have been imported when new, they did get the VR6

As I stated earlier I'm getting a VR6 on a Y plate that is a South African car, its been in the UK for a few years, but it still has the SA permits on the windscreen from when it was there
