These are actually six cars, all made for the film.

Designed by Rowland Emmett they were built at the Alan Mann racing workshop in 1967.

The current owner rejected $10.9 million in 1991 from Michael Jackson!

Beautiful cars, very impressive in person. I saw the one in the Keswick museum. Well worth visiting if you like film cars.

The Keswick museum one features non opening rear doors i believe..they were sealed shut when the vehicle was sold off after filming.

Chitty wasn't a Mercedes. It was a made for the movie car using a 1968 Ford engine and automatic transmission.

Created for movie ? We have a term for that, just to make the car name about as long as the movie.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang about to go off for filming outside the Alan Mann Racing workshop in 1968... It's a BIG car as you can see! Based on a Ford Zephyr with an automatic transmission, it still drives ok today.

The car was designed by Ken Adam, not Rowland Emmett.

But only a hollow imitation of the real thing.....

It’s a great pity that if you google Chitty Bang Bang all you get is advertising spawned by the merchandising consequent upon some crappy kids’ film.

Your starter for ten.

In the original script, Chitty was supposed to bite at the zeppelin. :lol:

The Chitty that they were going to use in that scene had a pop-up left front fender which was supposed to represent a mouth, which to me doesn't sound right because the mouth should come out from somewhere around the grille, not on the fender. Unfortunately, this idea was dropped from the script, but that addition in the fender still remains on that very car.
