Sunbeam Alpine: The REAL story of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from the U.K. National 2023

Not a 'How to' video, this was recorded at the 2023 U.K. Sunbeam Alpine National in Aylesford where Billy Hollis told the incredible story of the REAL Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang, a story that has involved him for his entire life. Over the space of an hour this story draws you in to a tale of racing cars, wartime spies, undercover activity and celebrity. Do you know where James Bond's "007" designation came from? You will after watching this video. Get a cup of tea (or a beer) sit back and enjoy.......

Very nice presentaion. I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area and have been to the Crawford Auto Aviation museum, although not when Chitty was there.

Mike, It is an amazing story isn't it. When he told it at the U.K. National he was a big hit and people were approaching him about it all weekend, asking questions and swapping their own experiences.
