It's an exact replica - apart from one thing
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the magical flying car, is coming to Nottinghamshire. It's not the actual car from the film but a replica of the truly scrumptious vehicle.
The new exhibition celebrates John Burningham’s Bedtime Stories. Burningham created award-winning children’s stories such as Borka and Avocado Baby, and illustrated Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the novel by Ian Fleming. His drawing of the magical car was later adapted for the 1964 film and the hugely popular theatre production.Visitors to the exhibition on October 7 will be able to see the hand-crafted replica, on show from 10am until 1pm.
Burningham’s original model for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will be accompanied by original illustrations, layouts and dummy books from nine of his award-winning books, including Borka, The Adventures of a Goose with No Feathers and Harvey Slumfenburger’s Christmas Present. The car was lovingly recreated with help from vintage car engineer Phil D’Archambaud. There’s one vital change to the design – in place of Ian Fleming’s powerful eight-litre zeppelin engine, Alderton and D’Archambaud have fitted an electric version but have added a big twelve-cylinder sound.
