Hello,

does anyone know where i could find replacemnt roof panels for my mk1 tuscan

the panel im looking for is the one thats attatched to either side of the removable targa roof. I just need the drivers side as mine has just flown off and smashed to pieces as i was giving it the beans when comming back from str8 six in oxfordshire earlier today. (great people and great service by the way)

i dont mind buying both sides if i have too and have them sprayed but if anyone knows a breakers where i could find just the drivers side in crystal topaz then this would be a super bonus!!!!

Thanks guys!!

I dont have the bits to stick on but i have a spare all in one roof i would sell if thats any help? Ive spoken to breakers before and they wont sell just the side attached bits as they are bonded on along with 3 main screws then several screws for the window rubber slide thing. You have to be really carefull getting them off or they snap. Dont know anyone who actually moulds them either.

There has been three versions of the roof panel since the Tuscan was introduced. The OP's 3 piece is the original one, also al roof panels are adjusted to fit so they may not be directly interchangeable.

Maybe Surface & Design or Fiberon could help with the replacement.

3 different types?? my tuscan is a MK1 2000 X plate if that helps narrow it down at all?

The early Tuscan roof panels had factory made injection moulded plastic side pieces sikaflexed on and the A post trims were the same, crap. Later ones the roof is one piece fibreglass, and the A post trims fibreglass as well.

My X-reg Tuscan is at Racing Green TVR, Topaz Blue. Bill for repair is £29,600 so in all likelihood a write-off. The roof was in the boot so completely undamaged. I believe that Racing Green is going to be buying the car for salvage as it is immaculate and has some very nice bits on it.

You didn't hear that from me....
