In Brief:

• A smart example of an Audi TT Roadster
• Finished in Silver with Black fabric roof, over a striking orange leather interior with contrasting whip stitching
• One owner since new
• Substantial supporting history file

Auctioneer's Notes:

An incredibly tidy and smart example of Audi’s first-generation TT Roadster, finished in Silver with a Black fabric roof. The interior is particularly striking, featuring orange leather sports seats with distinctive contrasting baseball-glove-style whip stitching, complemented by a matching leather steering wheel, door inserts and centre console trim. The warm leather contrasts superbly against the Black dashboard and carpets, while the familiar aluminium detailing, circular vents and polished gear knob complete one of the most distinctive interiors of its era. Remarkably, this example has had just one owner from new.

Maintenance & Condition:

The accompanying service record contains an impressive 15 stamps plus one additional unstamped entry, demonstrating consistent maintenance throughout the car’s life. Importantly, the timing belt was replaced at 54,650 miles in 2017, while a coolant-system repair was carried out in 2024 at a cost of approximately £380. A substantial collection of supporting invoices is present, documenting in excess of £5,600 of expenditure on servicing, repairs and general upkeep. The condition and paperwork combine to suggest a car that has clearly been very well cared for.

History:

The history file is substantial and includes recent MOT certificates alongside the service documentation and invoices. The most recent MOT, carried out in August 2026, records just 67,754 miles, with the certificate valid until August 2027. The original bookpack also accompanies the car and includes the Owner’s Manual, Audi TT Quattro Quick Reference Guide, Navigation System Guide and sound-system instructions. With one ownership from new, modest mileage and a comprehensive record of expenditure, the provenance is a particularly appealing aspect of this example.

The Model:

Introduced at the end of the 1990s, the first-generation Audi TT quickly became one of the defining sports cars of its era, its clean Bauhaus-inspired styling remaining remarkably distinctive today. This 180BHP Quattro Roadster combines Audi’s turbocharged 1.8-litre 20-valve four-cylinder engine with Quattro four-wheel drive and a manual transmission, offering strong performance together with secure, confidence-inspiring road manners. The Roadster added open-air motoring without losing the TT’s instantly recognisable design, while details such as the aluminium interior trim and circular instrumentation gave the cabin an identity quite unlike its contemporaries.

Sale Insight:

Early Audi TTs are increasingly being recognised as genuine modern classics, and well-preserved, low-mileage examples are becoming notably harder to find. This car stands apart through its single ownership from new, 67,754 recorded miles, extensive service history and unusually attractive baseball-glove-style leather interior. Presented in remarkably smart order and accompanied by more than £5,600 of documented expenditure, it represents a particularly appealing opportunity to acquire a carefully maintained and highly distinctive Mk1 TT Quattro Roadster.
