Attention Britney Spears fans and collectors alike: the pop star's legendary black 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK350, which played a significant role in her much-publicized difficult times, is now up for sale. For a hefty sum of $70,000. The vehicle, offered by the Volo Auto Museum, has been safely and securely displayed there since 2011 according to TMZ.
This car, a constant presence during Britney's tumultuous 2007, is widely recognized as one of the most photographed and videotaped celebrity vehicles in history. During that year, Britney experienced personal struggles that made headlines, including her infamous head-shaving incident, child custody battles, and mental health concerns which eventually led to her conservatorship.
The Mercedes is far from a standard or unremarkable car. Instead, it has become synonymous with Britney Spears herself, as paparazzi relentlessly captured moments of the singer behind the wheel. As Chicago Sun-Times notes, Brian Grams, director of the Volo Museum, described the car as being "infamous," and it holds significant historical and cultural value.
For those hoping to own a piece of the star's memorabilia, the car boasts a 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine, in addition to a sleek black leather interior and low mileage of just 29,268 miles.
