I love that exhaust note! I’m 60 years old, and still love watching the movie and singing all the songs. I just saw a video clip of a tribute show for Dick Van Dyke on his 98th birthday. Had a replica Chitty for him to sit in, and the singers and dancers performed “ Chitty Bang Bang” and “Me Old Bamboo”, complete with the original choreography from “Mary Poppins.” And he sat there, singing along, and enjoying every moment.

Lovely job. I am wondering where the tools are to build such a fantasmagorical machine? Didn't see anything in the pics or video that would enable a build of this magnitude. English wheel? Welders? Not even a spanner. Pics of in progress metal fabrication, chassis welding and fab, and woodwork would be great. I'm restoring a 1969 Aston Martin DBS to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" specification, being my #1 dream car. Chitty is a close second, and I echo someone else's idea to build the original version as a grand prix racer. Cheers! BTW your Truly is truly!

Thanks for this video. My family owned part of a Briton factory site, in Wolverhampton, until three or four years ago. There was two sites one mor to the east the other closer to the Sunbeam factory a little bit further west. It unfortunately was arson attacked at the end of last year. I have still to see one of these fine machines in the flesh. To get it running after all the years since it was made is astonishing. Congratulations and thanks again.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I'm building a 1/35 scale Model T ambulance and your construction photos are a great help. I was confused about how the rear enclosed section related to the cockpit section of the Ford and also how the overhead framework was constructed until you made all of that clear - I very much appreciate your tutorial on building it right! Cheers!

Remember that the spark should be fully retarded before starting, the thumb should be on the same side of the crank as the rest of the fingers …. and for heavens sake never turn the crank all the way around and push down. Since you are starting on battery once you’ve given the carburetor some gas by choking, all you should do is set the crank at around 7:00 and pull up to 11:00. If there was enough priming gas, your coils are adjusted and the timer is clean it should start right up.

True automatic transmissions were 30 years in the future when this car was made. 40 years in the future for Ford. They wouldn't have made a retrofit kit for a 40 year old car. I suppose any enterprising person could probably find a small modern engine and transmission and install them. It would take a lot of work, but I suppose it's do-able.
