This beautiful, vintage roadster can tour the countryside, take to the high seas, or fly above the clouds.

Inspired by the classic Ian Fleming story, this stylish automobile features exquisite style and excellent handling on the road, on the open sea, or in the skies! Features include driving, sailing, and flying, animated tires, an alarm system (off by default), guest or group access, and unique transformations. To switch from car to boat to aircraft, simply touch the menu and select your desired option.

The car seats three passengers, and can be controlled via the HUD, keyboard controls, or from the menu. A quick touch of a button, and the car spreads wings to fly, or an inflatable raft and propeller for boating.

This vehicle was built and textured by Thasius Vaher. Scripting and editing by Cheshyr Pontchartrain.

Fun purchase. It drives, it flies, it floats. It is a decent looking representation of the movie vehicle. It is not perfect, but it is loads of fun. Relatively low prim count for what it is and does.

I never thought of having a vehicle in SL because, well, flying and teleporting. This is one of the best things I have bought from the Marketplace in a loooong time. It's fun, well crafted and will turn heads. Cheers on a great item.

If you loved the film, you'll love this car.

Even if you've never seen the film, you'll at least like this car.

As another reviewer has pointed out, the steering is a bit wonky on the ground, but the handling overall is pretty good. The scripts are fairly basic, but.. hey. It's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Sea, air or land, it does what it says on the tin and all in all, I'm calling this money well spent. A very nice addition to my vehicles collection.

Bought this on a whim and I love how easy it flies (even underwater!). It looks amazing both parked and in use. On water its just fun. On land it has a bit of oversteer, but the menu lets you reconfigure everything. But in the air... its very very easy to maneuver.

Has an awesome tendency not to disappear when banlines kick you off your vehicle too. Huge plus.

I have been waiting so long for someone to come up with the brilliant idea of making another Chitty car! I have the one from Michael Dumont that was L$1,000, its not bad, and I say not bad meaning not bad at the time it was built, like before 2010. It was also a half rez half wear so u couldn't leave it out for display. this one, this beautiful one you can leave out for display and its wonderful! So far I have tried driving and flying, haven't run into a spot where I can try the boating mode yet but I'm getting there! This car itself is just beautiful, its well crafted, well textured, its quite obvious it was a labor of love! I am so hoping, no, I'm praying that this creator and his body builder will come out with the little green 1909 Humber 8hp that was also in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie (1968) that was driven by Truly Scrumptious (Sally Ann Howes). I am really hoping they will make that car so I can put them side by side and see them both together. I love this Chitty, and I will go crazy if this creator makes the Truly Scrumptious car! Thanks for the best Chitty in SL, best in looks by far and best in driving!
