2002 Audi TT Quattro (225 BHP)

Highlights

  • Higher performance variant with 6-speed manual transmission and Quattro system

  • Benefiting from a recent service totalling around £900 with timing belt changed under previous ownership

The Appeal

Making its debut 25 years ago, the Mk 1 Audi TT took the world by storm with its combination of stunning looks, impressive performance, and sleek and sophisticated interior. The TT was far more than just a design exercise however and underneath those iconic curves it was still very much an Audi, meaning class-leading build quality and clever engineering - such as Audi’s Quattro four-wheel-drive system.
Under the bonnet of this higher-performance 1.8-litre petrol model beats a 20V turbo-charged motor capable of propelling this sporting coupe from 0 to 60 in just 6.1 seconds and reaching a top speed of 150 mph. Combined with a sweet-shifting 6-speed manual and the Quattro system, the TT makes for a great driver’s car. 
Offered here for auction is a relatively low mileage example in the stunning shade of Denim Blue. Benefiting from numerous external and internal modifications, including lightweight front bucket seats, rear seat delete, engine upgrades and lowered suspension, this particular TT certainly packs a punch, both in its looks and performance!

The History and Paperwork

  • V5C present
  • 5 former keepers
  • MOT valid until 10/06/2024
  • Original stamped service book demonstrating excellent service history in earlier life
  • Recent documented service and MOT under current ownership, totalling approximately £900 
  • Paperwork supporting previous timing belt change in 2011, approximately 10k miles ago
  • Owner reports stacks of invoices relating to previous servicing work

The Interior

  • On opening the frameless driver’s door of the TT, one is immediately greeted by a high-quality stylish interior featuring a number of excellent upgrades
  • Interior fit and finish present very well and are commensurate with the Audi’s relatively low mileage and history of only occasional use in the past 10 years whilst under current ownership
  • Interior modifications undertaken by the previous owner include lightweight racing bucket seats, which present in an excellent condition, rear-seat delete and bolted-in roll cage
  • Interior equipment is all reported to function as expected, including dashboard gauges, with the owner reporting only one missing line on the digital display
  • Air conditioning reported to blow ice-cold and stereo system replaced by a more modern Kenwood unit
  • Attractive brushed aluminium trim throughout the cabin also in an excellent condition

The Exterior

  • Stunning shade of Denim Blue paint
  • Paintwork presenting in an excellent condition with no evidence of any significant blemishes apart from the expected mild stone-chips at the front end
  • Panels all appearing very straight with excellent shut lines throughout
  • Cool de-badged exterior look with window tint and subtle choice of decals
  • Car suspension modified with owner stating fitment of lowered coil-overs by previous owner
  • 17 inch Car Line split-rim alloy wheels, with evidence of some damage to the rear nearside rim. Set of replacement rims included with the sale as per photographs

The Mechanics

  • 1.8-litre 20V petrol engine with larger KO4 turbochargers fitted from factory
  • Short-throw 6-speed manual gearbox combined with Quattro 4WD system
  • Owner reports engine re-map whilst under previous ownership with the car subsequently developing significantly more power than factory quoted figures
  • Custom exhaust system fitted by current owner who reports a lovely exhaust tone without being too loud or intrusive
  • Benefiting from a recent documented service with work totalling approximately £900. Service included oil and filter change, brake pad replacement, n/s/r brake calliper replacement, CV boot replacement and Haldex oil change
  • Engine bay in a very well presented condition
  • Reported by the owner to start very keenly and perform excellently out on the road, without any untoward rattles or clunks.

Summary

As much a stunner today as it was 25 years ago, the Mk 1 Audi TT is a design classic that only seems to get better looking as the years go by. Offered here for auction is a very well presented and clearly well-loved modified example, which we think successfully combines striking ‘slammed’ looks with significant power upgrades. Unique and very cool, this particular TT is sure to put a smile on its new owner’s face!
