Too Late Market Find: 1 of 1 Audi TT Mk1 3.2 Roadster

What does it take to have us write about a Euro Market Find car that’s both already sold and several years too new for U.S. importation? A highly unique 1-of-1 factory build will do the trick. That’s where this Sprint Blue Audi TT Mk1 Roadster comes into play. It was offered by Selected Classics in the Netherlands.

Turns out they shared it on their social channels. The information from that post is all we have to go on. From that we can glean that it is a 3.2 roadster in one-of-one spec. Though they didn’t share the age, we know that 3.2s aren’t yet importable and so you’d be left to wait a few years if you’d purchased this one.

The color is Sprint Blue. That blue replaced Nogaro Blue on the S4 at the beginning of the B7 era, which is about the time the Mk1 TT production was coming to an end. Other details provided include that the interior is Nappa Leather with yellow stitching and brown baseball glove laces.

From images we can see a few other interesting details that may or may not have been European options. These include titanium finish on the wheels that we’ve seen before and were likely an option in period. We also see that same matte titanium finish on the mirrors and door handles, which are more likely something specially done by Audi exclusive for this car.

Over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of eccentric specification TT Mk1s for the European market. Though early for Audi exclusive, the TT was a platform Audi enjoyed using to showcase its capabilities. Even still, we’ve never seen accenting colors on the baseball glove laces, a look that really seems to make that element pop. The laces with their own yellow accents appear to be straight up taken from the terra cotta interiors offered in period, while the black seats (less the yellow stitching) also would have been offered with black lacing late in TT Mk1 production when this car was produced. In as much, this is less a matter of custom colored leather and more a matter of mixing and matching the laces from one interior configuration with the seat leather of the other. It’s definitely a cool look.
