notenoughtime Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I’ve just been watching making chitty fly with David Walliams and they had some Alan Mann racing footage very short but he actually built chitty for the filming which I never knew! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piekey Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 The Alan Mann Racing hard back book is well worth a read. Lots of old pics for those who can't read. All manor of specialist projects were carried out by them at Fairoaks. No excuses guys, we got plenty of spare time on our hands right now. When will it all end ?

XjamesX Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I used to play football with the guy who has the massive chitty back tattoo and massive collection of chitty stuff. Very nice guy but just slightly obsessed with the film 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pack 2000 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 I didn't know there was a Chitty / Alan Mann connection until this thread. But when you see them side by side the family lineage is obvious! 🥰 Twins!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
