History of Tuscan vin # SDLEA26AXYB001182

[cinquecento]

Does anyone have any history on ths car... it's ringing alarm bells. Specificially, I'd like to know why it has been extensively modified.

An auction has in Australia has a 2000 TVR Tuscan S (is there such a thing?) coming up..

It's new to country as it was only complied in April 2025..so I'm suspect an import and sell job. It seems a decent car but it's a mix of Mk1 and Mk2..with Tuscan S badges and spoiler. It presents well and looks as if quite a lot of money was spent..unsure if it was a CAT D that was repaired and exported.

Information is available by searching for "TVR Tuscan SDLEA26AXYB001182" and looking for an Australian auction house website.

Thanks.

I have looked at the car but looks like mix MK1 MK2. The rego was ITVRI and the vin SDLEA26AXYB001182. I have done a check with QLD, but does not exist, I also check the UK but no details.

It's fine to list a link. I found it:

If the year of the car is correct, then it will have to be a MK1 (non-S) as the MK1 S was released in 2001.

Clearly someone s converted the exterior to be a MK2 S.

Pictures can be deceiving, but it looks to have been done to a good standard, except they forgot the badge on the bonnet.

Some might argue you ve got the best of both worlds with MK2 looks/aero and the MK1 interior. I would imagine the car doesn t have the internal upgrades to S spec, nor the chassis tweaks of the MK2… but you can t say for sure.

There are websites that will check the insurance category history from the vin: you ll need to pay a few quid for the check.

Looks like a T440 Front Grille , which I though Plasticman used to make ?
S6 devil and MPETT had similar but without MK2 lights
I would guess at sometime it had a front end damage
