Although it would have been a no-brainer to release this set with Toot Sweets, 1969 Primrose Chitty Chitty Bang Bang cards were released with candy cigarettes in the UK.
The checklist includes 50 tobacco style trading cards and despite being sequentially numbered, do not appear to be in any sort of chronological order at all. For example, card 50 is essentially the opening shot of the movie and Truly Scrumptious appears on card #2 well before scenes that happen prior to her introduction in the film.
This set is printed on thin paper as opposed to card stock and can be incredibly difficult to track down. That said, cards remain fairly affordable despite the scarcity.
This checklist includes the complete text from the reverse of the card because cards were not given separate titles. Clicking a link within this checklist will direct you to an affiliate retailer or to relevant eBay listings.
