Oh dear, this is not looking good
DVLA can make mistakes - I recently looked at a BMW M5 that was registered new in the UK in August 1995 (N plate), it went to Ireland for a few years and when it came back into the UK was registered by the DVLA as July 1998, which should be an R plate, but they gave it a P plate! Double error
Certainly the codes not showing up looks worrying, I'd suggest you give this a couple weeks max to try get 100% confirmation it's an SL60, if not then the seller has to take it back - ignorance of the issue isn't an excuse - then up to him how he proceeds... Of course, fingers crossed for you and BEST OF LUCK WITH IT!
BTW very interesting seeing how to tell a real one, some very knowledgeable guys here!
