She may not be full of gizmos like Bond's DB5, nor does she talk like Knight Rider's KITT, yet Chitty Chitty Bang Bang remains one of the most loveable motors in the history of cinema. Which is why collectors will be chuffed to know she's going under the hammer next month.

If you wish to take Chitty on a trip to find the gloomy land of Vulgaria though, you'll have to spend millions to do so. Fuel aside, the vehicle is expected to fetch up to $2m (£1.2m).

Designed by Ken Adam and built by the Ford Racing Team, Chitty offers quite the Bang Bang for your buck. The bonnet is made from a polished aluminium, while the red and white cedar decking was crafted by boat builders in Buckinghamshire. The dashboard is made from a World War I fighter plane and the interior is kitted out with brass fittings from various Edwardian vehicles.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
