Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 1968

[Flying Kiwi]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

This may be a mythical car in the movie, but that aside, this car actually exists in real life and is 100% drive-able.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the car built for the 1968 movie, is in New Zealand and belongs to Sir Peter Jackson who bought the car in May 2011 for close to a million dollars.

It is one of the most recognisable cars in the world and is one of six built for the musical film based on Ian Flemming's only book for children.

The movie featured around European Grand Prix races in the 1910's

I'm all for it. Especially if they can make it take to the air! - You would be the Flying Kiwi in this.

(They could even include the songs to go with it)

Some say this car went on to inspire the 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLR race car.
