Original Hero Road-going “GEN 11” Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Car from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I think I would need to do more than dance a bit at the county fair to raise enough to buy this.

This is the fully-functional road car purpose-built for principal shooting. Production designer Ken Adam stood firm in his belief that if the film was to be about a car, a real car would have to be built—not a mock-up. Along with Rowland Emmett, who had been assigned the task of creating a series of mad inventions to appear in the film, and the Ford racing team headed by Alan Mann, Adam set about building Chitty. No detail was spared in her creation.
