Knight Rider's Kitt up for auction
The iconic Kitt car from the Knight Rider TV series is up for sale in an online auction.
The black Pontiac Trans Am talking car was driven by David Hasselhoff in the Knight Rider hit US show and 1984 TV film.
Kitt - which stood for ‘Knight Industries Three Thousand’ - is being sold in California via online auction website, eBay. The auction ends today.
Current bidding lists the vehicle at just £20,600 at the time of writing, though the price is expected to soar in the final minutes of the auction.
The listing reads: “David Hasselhoff played Michael Knight opposite the real star, Kitt. Kitt was a 300mph, high tech, self aware communicative, man-made marvel, designed to aid and protect Michael Knight.
"Together with his human co-star, Kittfought for justice across America.”
Kitt featured a computerised voice, represented by flashing red lights, and a ‘futuristic’ interior design. It bears the number plate ‘Knight’.
The Kitt model being auctioned was most recently used in the third and fourth series of Knight Rider as well as the TV film.
It was also used in 2006 film The Benchwarmers which starred Rob Schneider.

Britney Spears Makes Low-Profile Entrance To Custody Hearing; Is Visibly Upset During Break
Unlike Britney Spears' previous custody hearings, the embattled pop star's arrival Tuesday morning (May 6) at the Los Angeles County courthouse was punctual, and without much of the usual ballyhoo.
There were no adoring fans wielding signs of support, and as her white Land Rover sped into the adjoining parking garage, the paparazzi that have built a career of mobbing her failed to give chase. Spears arrived wearing a brown polka-dot dress, with a small sweater over the top, according to The Associated Press. At her side were her parents and one of her lawyers, Blair Berk. Meanwhile, Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline arrived on time, in a cream-colored suit.
Tuesday's proceedings got under way shortly after 9:30 a.m., after reporters were asked to leave the courtroom, following the granting of a motion to close the court. The purpose of the hearing was to provide the court with a progress review, during which an assessment of a psychiatrist's evaluation of Spears was expected, along with a discussion of the couple's current custody arrangement.
Before the court was closed, Commissioner Scott Gordon swore all of the parties involved in, by asking them to raise their right hands and state their names. Spears simply stated her name as "Britney," at which point Gordon said he'd need "her full name." She then complied, saying, "Britney Spears."
Gordon could adjust the couple's visitation agreement, a decision he'd be asked to base on Spears' recent conduct. However, he is not expected to make any changes to the mandate, a source close to the proceedings told AP.
About an hour into the hearing, Gordon took a quick recess, during which Spears was seen outside of the court room, visibly upset, her eyes watery. While she wasn't crying in the hallway, it appears as though she may have been crying inside the court. Several minutes later, Spears emerged again, holding Berk's hand and appearing as if she had been sobbing. Gordon called for a break around 11:40, so that he could hear other cases.
Spears has been under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie, since her release from UCLA Medical Center back on February 6. Spears was involuntarily committed to the facility, so she could be treated for bipolar disorder, and was released after only a week.
Federline has had sole legal and physical custody of the couple's two sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, since January 3, the night Spears was hospitalized after refusing to turn the children over to her ex. After failing to regain custody twice, Spears was granted restricted, monitored visitation in late February, and visited her sons February 23 for about three hours.
Since her last court appearance, Spears has seemingly turned her troubled image around, keeping a relatively low profile and even landing some well-received acting gigs. She is set to reprise her role as Abby the receptionist on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" on May 12. Several have attributed the shift in Spears' behavior to her parents, who've taken a more active role in the singer's life in recent months.

George Clooney pays Tribute to Sydney Pollack
George Clooney has led the tributes for his Michael Clayton co-star Sydney Pollack, branding the actor/director a "class act".
Pollack died aged 73 on Monday, after a nine-month battle with cancer at his home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles.
The Oscar-winning star recently directed and starred alongside Clooney in 2007's Michael Clayton.
Clooney says, "Sydney made the world a little better, movies a little better and even dinner a little better. A tip of the hat to a class act. He'll be missed terribly."
And actress Sally Field - who starred in Pollack's 1981 movie Absence of Malice - has also paid tribute to the star.
She says, "Having the opportunity to know Sydney and work with him was a great gift in my life. He was a good friend and a phenomenal director and I will cherish every moment that I ever spent with him."
Pollack won two Academy Awards for the 1985 movie Out of Africa - Best Picture and Best Director.
