A copy of KITT, the talking car from the Knight Rider series and dozens of other memorabilia were sold at David Hasselhoff's auction on Saturday.

The car attracted about 30 bids at an online auction and finally sold for $300,000, according to the auction's website.

The identity of the buyer has not yet been disclosed.

The auctioneer said the fully functional car, which was parked in Britain waiting for a new owner, belonged to Hasselhoff but was not used in the series.

Pieces of clothing and other belongings of Hasselhoff from Baywatch were also among the auctioned memorabilia, most of them sold for several hundreds of dollars.

The dinner offer with the star fetched only $9,000, much less than the expected price of $20,000.

Hasselhoff's fame peaked in the 1980s and 1990s when he starred as a singer in hit TV shows, and was mostly known for his song "Looking for Freedom".

The career of the 68-year-old German actor and singer has faded in the past years.

Hasselhoff promoted "The Hoff" auction on Twitter and Instagram for several weeks. In a video he shared Saturday, he claimed he will allocate a big sum of the auction's revenues for charities.

Warner Bros Discovery will launch its Max streaming service across seven Asian markets on Nov. 19, making the platform available in more than 72 markets, the media giant said on Tuesday.
Warner Bros said it will bring popular content from iconic brands such as HBO, Discovery, the DC Universe, Harry Potter, and Cartoon Network to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong, Reuters reported.
This announcement comes after the company said last month it expects to add more than 6 million subscribers to its Max streaming platform in the third quarter.
Warner Bros Discovery relaunched its streaming service in May 2023, with expanded programming offerings and extended Max to Europe this May, capitalizing on the anticipation of the Olympic Games held in Paris earlier this year.
Warner Bros' streaming service Max includes premium content from HBO, along with programs from HGTV, the Food Network, the Discovery Channel and other cable networks.
