We fail in bid for Chitty !

16 Jul 2020

We miss out on Chitty ,   we were outbid by a famous comedian when we tried to buy Chitty the car used for the stage show at a recent auction , but we did buy two items , more on them later. The car which cost 180k to build was the star of the show at an auction held last week , at one stage we were winning the race to buy Chitty , then the bidding exploded and we were left behind .

Our intention was to use the car for charity events and of course to promote our business .

BUT WE DID BUY TWO AUCTION ITEMS FROM THE SHOW ! <MORE DETAILS LATER !!!!!
