The film The Italian Job took care of Mini's advertising in one swoop when they crashed onto the big screen in 1969.
The car was the star of the film as Michael Caine and co drove the Mini through the street of Turin as they try to get away with the loot.

Despite being depicted as a magical flying car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was inspired by the aero-engined monsters raced by the evocatively named Count Louis Zborowski at Brooklands back in the 20s.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's number plate number was GEN 11, the closest to the word "genie" that the UK motor vehicle registration system would have allowed up to the time the novel was written.
However, by the time the film was made (1968), this UK Number Plate would have been available - as GEN 1E - from January to July 1967, when cars were allotted the "E" year suffix - well before the film's launch, in December 1968. These are, incidentally, Bury (Lancashire) official registrations.
