Based on a children's story by Ian Fleming and later made into a 1968 film, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sees the inventor Caractacus Potts restore an old racing car with the help of his children Jemima and Jeremy.

The family soon discovers the car has magical powers, and along with Truly Scrumptious, they end up on a fantastical adventure to faraway lands.
