The genuine article, allegedly. Place your bids now and don't forget there's an 18% premium to pay if you win.

Didn't every car they use end up bent after jumping them? And as for the high speed pass shots, it always looked to me like they used the good old speed the film up effect.

I was watching this the other night actually, and I'd have to agree - those bits where it was going fast really did look like it was speeded up!!!

Now, I always liked Knight Rider (the car, so I suppose KITT), but I'd suspect SVA may be a bit difficult....

Mind you, there seems to be lots of illuminated switchs in the dash which should at least do for the fog light

With only a 2 gallon fuel tank it probably never had enough juice to ever reach top speed ! Think it was the Dukes of Hazzard that really got through their motors though...

I guess in both programs they must have had the same jump from loads of angles and used them in several programs. Would have cost way too much otherwise.

I've watched Knight Rider a couple of time over the last week or so - on Bravo.

Much better than all that 'fly on the wall crap' we have now. What ever happend to easy going TV where you could unplug for an hour and sit in front of the box and it didn't even matter if you missed the next one as nothing (usually) followed on

I expect it could talk its own way through the SVA.

By the way, they weren't speeded up - it's all real you know. I think getting fuel for its hydrogen turbine might prove difficult. Car might suit someone living or working in Central London though, presumably with alternative fuel it's also not subject to the congestion charge...
