VIN number explanation

[webnext]

Hello all,

I own a S-Series LHD with VIN code xxxxxxxxPL011034 but can't figure out the correct type, it is imported from Belgium in to the Netherlands in 2003 as type description SPORT !!! If I follow the Steve Heath explanation there is no P code (1993) production, only 29 x V8s and 34 x S4 in his table.

Any help please?

Kind regards,
Webnext

And for all of you a very happy new year

Hello tinks v8S,

Sometimes indeed I think it must be a S4. Another detail is the bonnet, it is from a V8!

Hi all,

Some pictures off this wonderful car, and my bottom!, maybe tubbystu can help me?

Hi all,

Correct, rear drums and the battery in front of the car, so it looks like a S3C with V8 bonnet.
Strange car isn't it? especially the gap between building the car in 1993 en the UK license plate registerd in 1996!
What happens in the meantime, unsold or unfinished?

Hi Tubbystu,

The other information about the UK registration was from Chris52 on PH in October, see below.

According to the DVLA the car was first regisered on K183 EGM in UK in 1999 but declared manufactured 1993 and was licenced here til 2003 if thats any help.

Hello all,

Still searching for the history of my S series TVR. Read the Steve Heath [The TVR S series, second edition] twice and in the picture you see a new detail. I removed the cover of the steering column and? the letter R.

Details until now:
Registered as S3C
V8 Bonnet
S4/V8 dashboard
Vin code PL011034 (1993)
According to the DVLA the car was first regisered on K183 EGM in UK in 1999 but declared manufactured 1993 and was licenced here till 2003
This car is LHD
Battery in front
Disk breaks on the rear

It looks like a production mix, such as a S3C chassis planned as a S4 or V8 and finished much later than 1994?
Is there anything to say about the real production year and/or model?

Regards,
Marcel
