A wacky great-grandfather has spent three months converting his mobility scooter into a 8mph replica of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car.

Vin Wardman, 92, worked for eight hours a day in his garden shed to construct the stunning model of the magical flying car from the classic children's film.

The retired railway worker painstakingly constructed the famous vehicle from household items and a scooter bought from eBay for under £300.

The wheels are from a pushchair he found at his tip, while the front bonnet is a discarded pedal bin and the windscreen is a picture frame from a charity shop.

Vin, of Craven Arms, Shrops., has been making models for mobility scooters for several years - but believes his latest creation is his best yet.
