hi
I have just bought a chitty pedal car myself (in a quite sorry state) and I am wondering if anybody have pictures of a chitty chitty pedal car in good condition so that I can restore the one I have.

I can’t believe all the detail folks know about this car. Unbelievable. I’m so glad I posted here.

By the way, anyone have an idea as to its worth. I’ve had offers from folks as high as $1,500 but I figured they were pulling my leg so I really never bothered writing back.

Hi, the cars were made by Pines of Italy. You can find the maker’s name on the rubber tires and also on the underside of the chassis. Also the radiator cap is really a wine barrel tap. Not too many of these cars have survived in their original condition. Beside my own I only know of three others near mint condition owned by other collectors.

My older brother had a petal car just like this one as a child. i didnt know that any still existed. considering the few scuffs that you described it looks like you’ve kept it in great shape. Im going to forward this to my brother. i’m sure it’ll bring fond memories.. thankx

Hi guys

Might sound a bit strange, but I have made Chitty replica for my daughter – its electric, not quite finished, wings to be sewn and installed this week and windscreen in the next few weeks. A few pics of teh first drive are here:- http://evalbum.com/3030
(my wife will build a website ASAP)
I’m about to build a replica of Truly Scrumptious’s car too, for my younger daughter, same set up; electric, but will be slightly more adjustable so bigger children can drive it too.

If anyone is after a replica I can make them to order, and to specific requirements. I can even made pedal or petrol versions with fully automated wings. Real wood veneers and leather used throughout.

I was/am a mad Chitty fan, and honest, truly, my daughters are watching the film right now!

Please drop me a mail at christophergrilli at yahoo.co.uk if you have any questions.

Come and visit and let your kids have a test drive!

Best regards

Christopher
