Katie Price Had Half of Her Car Collection Repoed Amid Bankruptcy Case

Some readers might remember Katie Price from back in the late '90s and early 2000s when she used to go by Jordan and had become the most famous glamour model in the UK. Having started as a Page 3 girl for a local tabloid, she was able to parlay the exposure into a lucrative career in the spotlight.

Over the years, Price also became a reality star, a businesswoman, and somewhat of a car collector with a soft spot for Barbie-inspired custom vehicles. Her most famous Barbie car to date is the 2001 Suzuki Vitara customized by Robbie Orlando from Valet Magic, which she's been trying to sell for years – and repeatedly fails to, presumably because she's asking too much and overplaying her "I'm famous" hand.

The last time it was up for sale, the Barbie Suzuki had a price tag of £66,000, which is approximately $84,200 at the current exchange rate – solely because it was associated with her.

The Barbie Suzuki and four other vehicles from Price's collection, parked neatly outside her refurbished West Sussex mansion, are now gone. A report in the local media says that Price was visited by bailiffs over an outstanding payment of £250,000 ($319,000) that she was ordered to pay to her ex-husband, Alex Reid, four years ago after he accused her of leaking private information about him.

Photos obtained by the publication show eight cars parked outside the mansion before the bailiffs came, with only three remaining after the official visit. The Barbie Suzuki and Price's current daily driver, a black Range Rover, were among the haul.

Price has been having financial problems for years, as well as mounting legal issues, including several driving bans that sometimes overlapped. She has declared bankruptcy several times and is still facing foreclosure on the mansion, so the repossession of five of her cars is – strangely enough – the least of her problems right now.

In a strange "the rich are not like us" turn last year when she was still dealing with all the problems above, Price was telling her social media fans and followers that she was planning on building an all-pink fleet of vehicles, starting with a Bentley she'd customize herself. Prior to that, she'd visited supercar collector Lisa Marie Brown to work together on a pink Ferrari.

As this was happening, Price was banned from driving, so she not only had no money for any of this but literally no use, either.
