I was today old when I found out that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was originally a book by Ian Fleming.

Ian Fleming didn't make up the phrase "Chitty, chitty, bang bang".

In the British army, a "chit" or "chitty" was a word derived from the Hindi chitthi, meaning note or letter, which comes from the Sanskrit chitra (“spot”, “mark”) and was a permission slip,  a "chitty", to leave the barracks and visit the local brothels.

The "bang bang" is pretty self-explanatory.

That's awesome. I have a little collection of 1:18 scale Shelbys and some others.

That's a great display.

I will be impressed if someone can name this vehicle from a short lived series in the '70's.

That GTO is faster than electricity!

Fun movie with Dennis Hopper in a bit part. It got overshadowed by other movies. I think BTTF, which is somewhat similar, hurt it.

Don’t be sad. It’s a broadspeed jag ( or replica look alike) not moded for the sake of it by some kid they raced them in the 70’s

John steed liked them too, it was his car in a latter season of the avengers. It was for sale not long ago cheap as chips. Annoyingly nowhere to put it.

Basically a race car ( at least in looks)  on the road and it’s cool as hell imo although not sure if it was the full deal or just a replica but that was the idea.

@Pesty

Thanks a lot for posting this.

I assumed it was some 80s “broken kitty (aka American muscle transplant)” trailer park made for the show build. I don’t know how I possibly missed the existence of this vehicle my entire life.

I love that series. I will begin my penance by dusting off my DVDs and watching the series from beginning to end. Although not all at once. I promise to do my best to ignore Miss Peel and focus only on the vehicles.

Enzo Ferrari considered the XJ to be one of the most beautiful car designs. I agree, but I’m nobody and my opinion is worth nothing. I don’t want another “picnic” car  in my barn, so the XJ has been off my list for a while. I feel the need an XJ Coupe though. Although it will likely be sans fender flares.


ETA: I know the problem now. That car was in The NEW Avengers mid 70s reboot.
