Whoever could forget that car, and now it's going for a red hot price
As the Los Angeles Times says
"After penning about a dozen James Bond novels, Ian Fleming wrote the children's storybook "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car," in the mid-1960s, inspired by an actual monstrous European chain-driven racing auto from the 1920s. Producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli, who steered the Agent 007 film franchise, put the vehicle into flight on movie screens, capturing the imagination of children and adults alike with breathtaking scenes shot in England, France and Bavaria"
