If they are scans of a pre production brochure you have in your possession? I'd wager it's worth a few quid Capt D.
The images are instantly recognisable as an Audi TT. But they are also obviously not from a sales brochure showing the finished product.

We forget how 'WTF' they were when launched, same as the BMW Z3. I've had a very fun drive in a 2.8 Z3 (borrowed, driven like a hire car) and anyone who makes snide comments about the model needs to stick to reading the internet and driving their Eurobox
That's my take on all vehicles wrongly deemed to be "hairdressers cars"anyone who makes snide comments about the model needs to stick to reading the internet and driving their Eurobox
Invariably labelled as such by people who have only ever driven A to B shite cars & very possibly currently own a feckin people carrier
My pile of crap: (and fuck all that “hairdresser’s” nonsense…) I had one of the first MK 1’s and it was one of the best cars, I ever owned.
If you are into car design: That car had almost nothing out of the average Audi toolkit. It was a unique piece of art down to the inside door handles. Fullstop.
I did not own a 4 wheel drive since it took away some of the luggage space in the rear. Bit man, did it perform.
If you find a well maintained, low mileage one. Go for it. If I had room for a fourth car, I’d buy one again.
(Oh, I know, unfortunately it is German. But what can can I help it? We just build the best cars on that awfully fucked up planet…)
And NO. I do not expect anyone to agree. And do not give a shit neither…

Well well Mr Drunkey...
So you had one and liked it, oh yes i know there's assorts of shecht going about about them but as you and others say, they're a bloody screwed together cage. Like Marty cars really aren't my thing either despite having quite a few, through boredom mainly.
Yep that's one thing the 4x4 or kidon 4x4 ie Haldex system isn't really a true 4x4 i don't think.
I've saw one a 00 225 with stacks of paperwork and for 22 years old low miles see what (if anything) happens..

That'd be my choice out of the range fwiw. Don't think the v6s grow old bones that well and I gave my take on the quattro above. Mainly pita.
Out of curiosity I Googled the term "Hairdresser car"
Surprisingly its origins are based around the idea that for instance a 1100kg 200bhp car. Can't be compared to a 1800kg 700bhp super car.
I absolutely dispute that.
The lighter & less powerful car could be just as much fun on a twisty road.
From now on, whenever I hear the term "Hairdressers car"
My inbuilt translation service will hear..."I've never owned anything as cool as that. And my penis is like an acorn on a February morning at 4am"...

I take the 'hairdressers car' term to mean simply that, back in the eighties and nineties, hairdresser's, both male and female, were making an absolute bloody fortune chopping and farting about with barnets and so, whatever the latest hot hatch or sporty little number was they would invariably have a nice shiny new one and usually in a flamboyant colour. I knew a hairdresser back in those days who, when he wasn't spending his money on 'loafer lightener' would be seen about town in his custom painted, nail varnish pink metallic, wee sports car and don't ask me what exactly it was but all the local Cosworth, Capri, Golf GTi mob etc. then declared that model of car a 'Hairdressers car'. I never assumed that it meant the car was crap, underpowered or anything of the sort simply that it was perhaps a little 'pretty' and a bit 'flash'.
