D100
Dinky 100 Lady Penelope's Fab 1. Near mint plus/boxed. Sought-after early issue in non-fluorescent pink, with clear sliding roof. Silver painted base. With working features.
Notes
Inspired by the Gerry Anderson Thunderbirds T.V. series from the ’60’s. This Fab 1 model is finished in non-fluorescent pink, with a clear sliding roof, scarce with a silver-painted base.
Gold interior and both original seated figures of Lady Penelope and Parker. It comes complete with an intact bonnet emblem, jewelled headlights and intact front number plate (later addition of a rear number plate). Distinctive, detailed 6 spoked wheels are very shiny. The Fab 1 has a few marks visible upon close inspection. Presents very well indeed. Both the rocket and missiles fire as they should!
The sliding roof is pefectly intact and slides nicely. The car comes complete with a firing rocket and four rear harpoons. Original (opened) packet is still present. Usual staple marks where it was attached to the inner.
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), but no tears.
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. Looks fresh and rarely handled. Small grubby strip on one box face and a little area of surface loss at an end flap. No tears or graffiti.
One of the most sought-after Gerry Anderson inspired Dinky models!
