Guess the Colour…. ‘’Winners’’ Ford Imperial Blue Audi TTS
I’ve heard back from the Audi Exclusive team in Germany and I finally know what colour my car is…
It’s was a popular colour, but not on Audi’s… in fact I may have the only MK2 TTS roadster in this colour in the uk.
I’ve no idea how much this cost the original owner (I’m the 3rd), but you could specify any colour you wanted apparently, and in 2012 they specified a colour from the 1990’s
This photo shows the hue, but not the Pearl finish…. The clue is in the purple undertone to the blue
Can you guess what it is
EDIT - so we have winners, good retro colour spotting.
I wonder if this might be the only Audi TTS roadster in the UK in Ford Imperial blue, and if the person who ordered the car had a thing for 90’s fords?
I do love it, but I can’t decide if it’s cool to have it in a ‘fast Ford’ colour or a bit odd, it’s a common colour… but not on this car. To say I was very surprised by the email from Audi is an understatement

Is it interlagos blue? Was just looking at an interlagos blue Z4m on AT. Your TT looks fabulous in that blue.

It’s a bit too purple-y blue for Montego, my E86 was Montego and was quite a bit lighter blue than this.

Good guesses…. The colour is not from a German manufacturer
Think 1990’s and spoilers

True-Blue, is it Ford Imperial Blue? I'll confess I thought it might be a Ford blue but had to do some Googling to check what it was called.

Winners….
Ford Imperial Blue, also known as Racing Blue Mica
Apparently a few different shades, this Cossie looks slightly less purple, but it could be the photo
