Well used, but original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car from the film of the same name. Car made by Corgi approx 1968, and still in reasonable condition. I know it is one of the originals as it was mine as a boy when the film first came out.

So glad that you have this, and the memories it must evoke. I saved my Truly Scrumptious Barbie doll for about 30 years. She was my very favorite. Here's a photo.

Thanks for looking miKKoChristmas11. You learn something new every day, I did not realise that Barbie had made a souvenir doll as well! That photo to the right of it also brought back some memories! Iwish I had kept the box for the car, but at the time it was for playing with, not collecting!
STUNNING AND I LOVE THIS :)
