Chitty Chitty Bang Bang always seemed to be part of Llandudno Extravaganza and it does not look as if we shall see it in Llandudno ever again.
The original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is due to fetch up to £1.2million at a car auction next month.
The magical motor – described as “the most famous car in the world” by Los Angeles-based auctioneers Profiles in History – is still roadworthy but unlikely to fly.
Built by the Ford Racing Team for the 1968 movie starring Dick Van Dyke, the car is still registered with the “GEN 11” plates it carried in the film.
