the GLS was only made in the uk as far as i believe. any car imported would be given a reg true to age using a glanza for example? models in this colour spec, blue, burgundy etc, i presume were left over shells and limited editions produced in order to sell out the car before/along the arrival of the yaris. there's potential this car could have been sitting around in a dealership or a factory for a long time, before some old person decided they still want a starlet. has happened with many cars Date of Liability 01 08 2013 Date of First Registration 09 02 2001 Year of Manufacture 1997 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1332cc CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour BLUE Vehicle Type Approval Not Available was registered on my 8th birthday probably a very early V plate, so one of a very small number of potential V registered starlets. the 1997 was probably a mistake, although i'm absolutely baffled. i think dvla make mistakes sometimes
