D100
Dinky 100 Lady Penelope's Fab 1. Very, very near mint/boxed. Sought-after 1st issue. Complete with still-sealed packet of missiles. From The Cheshire Collection.
Notes
Inspired by the Gerry Anderson Thunderbirds T.V. series from the ’60’s. This Fab 1 model is finished in non-fluorescent pink, the earliest issue with the pink stripes on the clear sliding roof.
Gold interior and both original seated figures of Lady Penelope and Parker. It comes complete with an intact bonnet emblem, jewelled headlights and both front and rear number plates. Version with small circular detail on the wheels and a more protruding central section. Couple of mere dots away from mint.
The sliding roof is pefectly intact and slides nicely. The car comes complete with a firing rocket and four rear harpoons (still in sealed packet, factory- stapled to the card stand).
In exceptional condition with none of the usual rub marks or chips at the side raised body line.
The colourful card stand is crisp and bright, although there is some rubbing to the black card where the car sits (this is a heavy vehicle).
Instructions are on the reverse of the card stand, detailing how to fire the front rocket and rear harpoons.
The pictorial card box is clean and bright with vivid colours.
No tears! Hard to find this good. Very minor wear only.
One of the most sought-after Gerry Anderson inspired Dinky models!
