2. THE MOCK UP

An engine was added shortly after filming, and she is now registered as GEM 11 and in the ownership of JC Bamford
Readily identifiable by a higher sitting steering wheel, straight front axle and fibreglass bonnet panels.

3. THE FLYING MOCK-UP

An engine was added during filming and she was brought back to the UK from the USA where she is now on display at the Keswick Museum. Easily identifiable by the fact that the radiator grille support bars run vertically unlike the horizontal running bars on the other versions.

4. THE WATER-SHELL

Although this version with its silver aluminium (instead of brass) fittings only appears in 12 seconds of the movie, this vehicle (with a HOLDEN engine) publicised the movie in Australia for many years before being bought by an aluminium awning company. This was the first CHITTY to be displayed at the Keswick Museum and was sold to EON productions a few years back. Cosmetic work was done on the vehicle to make it look more like GEN 11 for photography for promotion of the current West End stage production.

Over the years, many people have attempted to replicate the vehicle.
