The Car from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is up for Auction

[RStar]

This car was on the show "Hollywood Treasures", the owner mentioned in the ad took the car in lew of payment. He has cared for it in England all of these years, and it was fun to watch them drive it around.

I think the starting price is way high, and I bet the reserve is about 4 million, way too much for a car that is a prop. Yes, it's the hero prop, and yes it is fully functional (sans flying of course), but it's not a "real" car model, unlike the James Bond car. So it's only interest is to movie fans. And the 007 franchise has more movies and fans than the single production CCBB. If the auction started at $200,000 it might get bids and fetch 1 million, but that's all I think it's worth.
