Real Life Knight Rider: Fan Spends £18,000 Recreating Iconic Car
A Knight Rider fan has spent 10 years transforming a run down vehicle into the iconic car from the hit 1980s TV series. Scott Bainbridge shelled out more than £18,000 to a turn an unloved Pontiac Trans Am into his very own Kitt - the car driven by David Hasselhoff in the show. The 30-year-old postman bought the car in 2004 and started to re-create the sleek black vehicle - which even speaks in the voice of Kitt from the film. Postie Scott had to replace a lot of parts to get the Knight Rider model up to scratch – including fitting a new engine to the damaged vehicle

Finally someone who actually recreated the car with the original or originally looking placeholders such as the deck spoiler, front bumper, wheels, window tint and fog lights. This is as close to the real thing as I've ever seen and I've seen one of the real cars and sat in it in the 90s.
Go K-I-T-T!
awesome show for its time
