The starting price of the lot was 90,000 pounds. In a few days, the price rose to 150,000. The fierce bidding will last before October 16. According to Radionova, several specialists had been working 12 hours a day for two months to adorn the car with crystals.

The unusual styling cost the Russian 20,000 pounds. However, according to experts, if it was an ordinary Mercedes, the best price for it would be 25,000 pounds.

The Russian girl, who looks like Kim Kardashian, said that she had a real passion for diamonds. According to Radionova, she plans to transfer ten percent of the proceeds to a dog shelter in Manchester, the main building which burned down in September.
