To celebrate Ian Flemming's 100th Birthday (007 James Bond's creator) and the 40th aniversary of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (created by him if you didn't know), Bletchley Park hosted the original car (one of 5 produced for the film but the only one licenced GEN 11 with the DVLA and fully roadworthy). We were invited to give the event a little more period atmosphere and had a throughly great day, as well as the oportunity to sit in the car for photographs.  www.bletchleypark.org.uk .

Were you there? We would love to have a copy of your pictures for displaying here.

For more details about the car visit  http://www.chittygen11.com The website of the owner of the original car.

The pictures that were below have been removed because the grumpy old sour pusses at Milton Keynes News, whist happy to make money from selling pictures of us without our consent, do not want us displaying or advertising them.

Whilst I ask you to go and look at the pictures at photostoday.com website Milton Keynes Citizen  gallery 29thMay-9th June page 3-5  I would ask that you DO NOT buy any copies of them!
