Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, the magical car

1964 · Book · Ian Fleming

“Most motorcars are conglomerations (this is a long word for bundles) of steel and wire and rubber and plastic, and electricity and oil and gasoline and water, and the toffee papers you pushed down the crack in the back seat last Sunday.”

Two children persuade their father, an inventor, to purchase and restore an old car which turns out to have magical powers. by Ian Fleming
