Further details at the NATIONAL MOTOR MUSEUM website

This summer, visitors to Beaulieu’s National Motor Museum can see the nation’s most famous flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The car, star of one of the best loved family films of all time, is one of the museum’s most requested vehicles, from visitors of all ages.

The book of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, written by James Bond author, Ian Fleming, was published in 1964, with the film following four years later. It tells the story of an eccentric professor called Caractacus Potts, played in the film by Dick Van Dyke, who invents a magical flying car. Chitty helps the professor and his two children, Jemima and Jeremy, alongside Truly Scrumptious and Grandpa Potts, as they try to outwit the dastardly Baron and the evil Child Catcher.

Visitors can also see another of the cars from the film, the 1909 Humber, which is one of the National Motor Museum’s permanent exhibits. The car which has a monocle windscreen and a wicker basket to hold a lady’s parasol, was driven in the film by Truly Scrumptious and, famously, ended up in a pond! Following this mishap, Truly Scrumptious, played in the film by Sally Ann Howes, befriends the professor as they rescue imprisoned children in the land of Vulgaria.

007 MAGAZINE is often emailed by Bond fans visiting these shores asking if there’s a James Bond museum or exhibition to visit during their vacation here in the UK.

Currently, together with the James Bond vehicle exhibition at Beaulieu (above), the only other venue in the UK of worthwhile interest to Bond fans is the Bo’ness Motor Museum. Opened on April 3rd 2004 by Caroline Munro and Shane Rimmer from 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me, the museum is located near Falkirk in the heart of central Scotland. Only half an hour from both Glasgow and Edinburgh, the Falkirk area is easy to reach by either road or rail. The museum boasts features like the Bond themed ‘Moneypenny’s Diner’ and the ‘Double “O” Bar’.
