Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a car on a mission to stop a criminal gang in its tracks - and she is taking the Potts with her! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was a story which Ian Fleming created for his son Caspar at bedtime - now you can jump into the world’s most loved magical car for her first adventure!”
