  Mumford and Newstead generalized the classical Torelli theorem to higher rank
i.e., a smooth, projective curve $X$ is uniquely determined by the second
intermediate Jacobian of the moduli space of stable rank $2$ bundles on $X$,
with fixed odd degree determinant. In this article we prove the analogous
result in the case $X$ is an irreducible nodal curve with one node. As a
byproduct, we obtain the degeneration of the second intermediate Jacobians and
the associated N\'{e}ron model of a family of such moduli spaces.
