02 plate ran from 1st March-31st August so quite possible for one to be on that plate, especially if it was ordered early after announcement - note that this one has the S mode too, which all FEs should have.
Everything I can see spec-wise in the pics screams 'final edition' to me 
I'd say £6-7k too to the right buyer. It's a lot less in your face leather colour wise than mine or the red leather, correctly maintained by all accounts, low ownership count, low miles - what's not to love
