Probably just someone in the armed forces getting it cheaper over in Germany.  Quite common.

Would that class it as an import though?

Not sure mate.  My Dad and his forces mates used to buy RHD cars whilst posted in Germany, then bring them home afterwards. They used to get an army discount and the cars were German spec.

Maybe in this case it was a German spec car imported over, registered here, then taken back over.  It can be hard to trace sometimes.

Hi Craig in answer to your question, my edition 30 is exactly the same. My one is right hand drive with all the usual spec, however it was built for the German market but was initially sold by motor point hence I don't have a unique number either.

Do you think it will affect the price and desirability when selling?

I really don't know mate, bottom line it is an original VW edition 30 in some ways in unique in itself being built for the German market but sold with uk spec.
As for the plaque I spoke to VW and they willing to assign number 2307 to my Edition 30 apparently VW have plaques for that exact reason
