Description
An exceptional, enthusiast-owned example of the iconic Mk1 Audi TT in the rare and highly sought-after Mauritius Blue Pearl. This is the 225bhp model featuring the BAM engine, 6-speed manual gearbox, and Quattro all-wheel drive.
Maintained strictly as a fair-weather modern classic, this car has been meticulously garaged over winter for the past two years and protected annually with Lanoguard underseal. While lower mileage examples exist, few have had the notorious common instrument cluster failure professionally rectified, or the chassis so thoroughly protected against UK road salt. This is a car maintained for long-term longevity, not just for a quick sale.
MOT to August 2026

If you know these cars, you know they are beautiful to look at but can come with a predictable list of aging pain points. I bought this particular example because it combines the ultimate spec the 225bhp BAM engine, 6-speed manual, and Quattro all-wheel drive with the absolute peace of mind that all of those common issues have been professionally put to bed. It stands out from the crowd immediately thanks to the rare Mauritius Blue Pearl paintwork, which retains a deep, glass-like shine, and the highly unusual addition of factory-fitted Cruise Control. Unlike so many others on the market, it has never been modified, mapped, or abused; it is a totally original, unmolested survivor.
My absolute favourite thing about this car is how it has been looked after. It has been strictly a fair-weather weekend car for me, meticulously garaged over winter and treated annually with Lanoguard underseal to protect the chassis from UK road salt. From the perfectly refurbished, zero-pixel-fade dash cluster to the crisp Bose premium sound system, it feels tight, well-sorted, and ready to enjoy.
Over £4, 000 has been invested recently to ensure it is an investment-quality, turnkey example that you can simply drive, enjoy, and cherish from day one.
