My launch car last six digits are 100886 and has a registered date of 18th June 1999
Edit: If indeed the Vin is as stated in scoubix's post (ending 001760) then it really does confuse things as it is indeed a pre launch VIN.

Still Harman-Kardon doesn’t match with dealer launch spec.
I can definitely confirm the VIN, I have an MGR database matching VRNs to VINs, and this one turns out with said VIN, it matches the build records too in terms of specs. Definitely pre-production…
As to where the traction control button is, being a preproduction it may have not been wired in completely, who knows?
Also comes up on several online query tools with said VIN and 1st reg date predates the very first launch car anyway.
