Not a 2006/07 car I suspect. I have heard of big repair Bill's hence why I recommend not buying a cheap SL. Do you recall what the car needed, £10k - £12k seems a lot of money?
No it was an 03/2003 car one family owner and low milage 30 odd k miles from memory.
The list wasn't that long believe it or not but it is easy to spend on these cars. Jump to a Merc V12 and the bills can increase even further as there is often two of everything.
This one need new radiator, 2 new struts, brake discs/pads all round, tyres all round, new charger cooler, new PS hose/line, new pair of batteries, new boot seal, some internal trims, service and gearbox oil service. Then some smart repairs on every panel as was Brighton city car and scuffs/ dings on every panel. Lastly some leaky rams on roof mech needed replacing and set of alloy refurb.
Soon mounts up.
