The road-worthy car star of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has sold at auction for $805,000 (?503,100).

The motor was expected to fetch up to $2 million (?1.25 million) at the Profiles in History in Beverly Hills but it fell a little short.

The movie memorabilia auction grossed over $5.8 million (?3.6 million) and highlights included a letter Walt Disney sent to the creator of Mickey Mouse, Ub Iwerks, announcing the start of Disney Studios ($241,500/?150,900), the Wicked Witch of the West?s crystal ball from The Wizard of Oz ($126,500/?79,000) and John Lennon?s original handwritten lyrics for Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds ($230,000/?143,750).

Over $98,000 (?61,250) from the proceeds will be handed over to victims of the Japan disaster.
