Audi TT 3.2 V6 MK1 Finished in Papaya Orange

Audi TT 3.2 V6 MK1 Papaya Orange Background: 

• What makes this Audi TT 3.2 V6 rare is its exterior finish ‘Papaya Orange’ (colour code LY2B), which is one of the least common factory colours Audi offered for the first generation TT.
• Papaya Orange was primarily available on a limited number of models from 2004 to 2006.
• While specific production figures for TTs in this colour are not widely published, several sources suggest that only 25 units were sold in the US in the 3.2 V6 trim, so one can surmise that RHD variants in the same colour are likely scarce.
• This unique colour, combined with its status as a Japanese import and the 3.2L engine, makes gives this vehicle collector appeal .
