2005 AUDI TT 1.8T QUATTRO SPORT 240

KEY FACTS

• A well-maintained and usable example of an acclaimed performance car.
• It is powered by a turbocharged 1.8-litre inline-four, producing 237bhp and 236lb-ft of torque, which drives all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.
• The Quattro Sport benefits from a firmer chassis and lighter weight than the standard coupes.

 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The TT Quattro Sport was created by removing the rear seats and parcel shelf, plus the spare wheel, to contribute to weight saving of 49kg. Its chassis was then equipped with stiffer suspension, and with wider 18-inch alloy wheels to improve grip.
• It was offered with either the standard comfort seats that are well-suited to longer journeys, or lightweight bucket seats, and this car has the former.
• Finished in black paintwork, the seats are trimmed in leather and Alcantara, with Alcantara also used to cover the steering wheel rim.
• This example now rides on Eibach springs to further enhance the handling.
• An aftermarket Bluetooth-compatible Pioneer stereo has been installed in the cabin.
• Its original owner’s manuals, service book, toolkit and air compressor will be included, with a fresh bottle of Continental tyre foam.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• Its black paintwork is believed to be original and is in good shape, though the seller notes that the plastic sill guards are slightly scuffed.
• Inside, the partial-leather upholstery is in similarly good condition, with some surface wear on the driver’s seat outer bolster, and minor creasing elsewhere.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 24 March 2021 at 85,736 miles, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent service was in March 2021 at 84,595 miles, where technicians at Performance Autocare in North Yorkshire replaced the engine oil, filter, timing belt, water pump, coolant, rear bushes and lower arms.
• A set of Eibach springs were installed at Performance Autocare in June 2020, at 84,595 miles.
