Updated: 09:41, Tuesday April 03, 2007
Fans of Knight Rider are being offered the chance to buy a piece of television history.
The 1980s show featured David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a crusader for good.
But his futuristic car KITT also became a star and one of the models used in the series is now being sold for £76,000.
In the show, KITT - officially named Knight Industries Two Thousand - could talk, fly, fire smoke bombs, launch a flame-thrower and hit speeds of 300mph.
Sadly, these high-tech features are not available to the buyer but it famous red scanner light on the nose does glow and make a humming noise
The Pontiac Trans Am up for grabs is one of only four "camera cars" used for close-up shots with Hasselhoff.
They have never been put on sale before.
KITT is being sold by a Californian dealer Johnny "Vette" Verhoek of Kassabian Motors, who has put the car on show for the past month.
However, the eventual buyer will probably keep the vehicle in a private collection or display it in a museum as the car is not legal to drive as it lacks smog equipment and other modifications.
