A girl called Maggie buys a car called HERBIE. He's very different to other cars and Maggie dosen't know wether or not she wants to keep him or not.
She then enters races. She wins one aganist a really famous racer. She can't tell her Father because her Mother used to race and died in one so he is VERY protective. She agrees to rerace the man and has a bet the person who loses has to give up their car. She loses, but then realises how important Herbie is to her and gets him back! She enters the most important race and wins it with style and is the first woman to win it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
