Patf Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 There used to be a car museum in Keswick, which had lots of famous cars, from movies, TV etc. I wonder if it's still there? I haven't been to Keswick for years. Just checked on Google:http://www.carsofthestars.com/cotsidx.htmlLooks as if Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is there.

AnOther Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 [quote user="PeterG"]Can't find Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...........[/quote]That's probably because although inspired by genuine cars the film car was not real in the sense that it was not produced by any known manufacturer but was something cobbled together specifically for the film. Several were made 2 of which supposedly reside in the Keswick museum and a 3rd, which had been on display in a Chicago restaurant, was recently sold to an American who also owns a Batmobile.

ViVienne Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 chitty has been in Whitely Hants all weekend, I expect there are a few lookalike models earning extra cash in their spare time. I understand they hire it out for weddings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Very chuffed to see a Bond Bug (our first car!) appeared in both Get Carter and Robbie Williams' Millennium video :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Wow Fay I never knew that, I will go to you tube immediately. Oh yes at the end, Ahrrrrrr [8-|]Fond memories of the old orange wedge. We had some Japanese dignitaries visiting our site one day and to tease my friend who just bought the bug from me I had the carpenter make a huge wooden key which we fitted to the door handle [:D] One of the Japs offered money then and there to buy it.

Fay Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Teapot you have made me laugh SO much - thank you! I don't suppose you have a photo of it with its key...?Have you registered on www.bondbug.com? You can post your old numberplate and any other info you like (such as this story!), and with luck someone at some point will tell you what became of your 'orange wedge'. (Having said that, no-one has yet replied re RGF 960L...)Fay (another cheese-triangle fan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
