A bit of history to this great icon of a car:
Audi TT 1.8 T Quattro 2dr [225]
Howards of Carmarthen are proud to present what we firmly believe to be one of the finest examples of the Mk1 TT 225 Quattro for sale anywhere in the in the UK. This incredible “as new” example is finished in Blue Metallic and has covered just over 44,000 miles from new in the care of incredibly fastidious owners. The original owner ordered blue natural leather, blue carpets, Bose sound system with Multi CD changer, matching blue tint wind mirrors and matching blue mats. This car even still has the original mats in fantastic condition. MK1 TT (Type 8N) Background:Few cars have managed the transition from concept to production model quite as successfully as the Audi TT. Created by the VW Group Design Centre in California with Porsche firmly in their sights, the concept car was first unveiled at the 1995 Frankfurt motor show. The world was aghast and three years later, even more remarkably little had changed when it made its production debut in September 1998. The world loved it and sales soared, the TT was the boutique car of choice for the late 90’s and early 00’s and a design icon was born Autocar was impressed, describing it as ‘one of Audi’s most engaging machines in recent times… a handling sensation next to its other performance cars… more alive than any Audi we’ve driven since the original quattro’.With a little help from ABT the TT also became a successful racer, Frenchman Laurent Aïello winning the DTM title in 2002 beating Bernd Schneider in the legendary AMG CLK DTM. Another TT claimed 3rd place piloted by Mattias Ekström in the #9 car. The #9 TT-R now lives on digitally as a Grand Turismo legend featuring in every title. Technology and TraditionThe TT name has also been attributed to the phrase "Technology & Tradition”This is very apt given the then state of the art and previously unseen laser beam welding techniques used in its production to enable its seamless styling. Whilst it is also a nod to the historic successes of both NSU and DKW in the Isle of Man TT. Both companies later merged into the company now known as Audi Provenance. This car was built in 2002 and has been adored by each of its careful owners. It is all totally original or has genuine Audi parts. It needs for nothing with all
Mechanics and electrics working perfectly. Usually a car like this would have much, much higher mileage and would require repairs. This car has been garaged for the last 7 years with meticulous maintenance and the occasional Sunday run out. All lights on the dash are all working and as they should be, in fact just as they were when they left the factory over 18 years ago. Buy this car as a future investment and classic. It won’t be here long and has already generated interest nationwide.
Overview:In incredible condition and with just over 44,000 miles documented this really is as good as they come and offers a fantastic entry in to modern classic ownership as either a depreciation proof low mileage daily driver, a weekend toy to polish, show and enjoy or perhaps most likely a solid investment piece to add to your collection. If you are looking for a really great example of a truly ground breaking design icon or just looking for a shrewd future classic investment then you need to see this car. The vehicle will have a new MOT and will be fully serviced and checked by Howards of Carmarthen prior to collection for complete peace of mind.
