Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Fleming, Ian-Paperback

When the Pott family goes to buy a new car and comes back with a wreck, nobody is surprised. Except for the Potts themselves.

First the car has a name. And she tells them what it is. Then they find that she can fly . . . and swim . . .

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a car on a mission to stop a criminal gang in its tracks - and she is taking the Potts with her!
