Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (car)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is the fictional vintage racing car which features in the book and musical film of the same name.
Writer Ian Fleming took his inspiration for the car from a series of aero-engined racing cars built by Count Louis Zborowski in the early 1920s, christened "Chitty Bang Bang".
[edit] Film props
For the film version, a number of props were created, including a fully functional road going car. It was built by Alan Mann racing in Hertfordshire in 1967, and fitted with a Ford 3000 V6 engine and automatic transmission. It was allocated a genuine UK registration: GEN 11. The car now resides at the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in Keswick.[1]
