Bo'ness Motor Museum Owner Says Film-Car Collection Could Fetch Millions

The privately run site mixes screen‑used vehicles with authorised replicas, including a working‑wing Chitty recently back from loan.

Overview

  • Colin Anderson, 61, has operated the museum near Falkirk for 21 years with around 40 cars on display.
  • Highlights include a Ford Anglia used for Harry Potter interior shots, a white Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me, and an Only Fools and Horses van.
  • The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car is an MGM‑authorised replica with functioning wings that recently returned from Dundee Museum of Transport.
  • The museum draws roughly 10,000 visitors annually and has held charitable status since 2012.
  • Many vehicles have been restored to be roadworthy, and Anderson built the collection through auctions and purchases from closed museums.
