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 and rear number plates. Five stud wheels.
The Fab 1 presents very well indeed. Old shop stock quality piece – hard to find even the smallest mark. The car comes complete with unopened clear plastic packet of missiles still stapled to the card plinth.
The colourful card stand is crisp and bright. A little wear to the black card where the car sits (this is a heavy vehicle), and the near-inevitable scuff marks on the black plinth have been disguised with black pen at some time. A couple of small wheel slot 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 complete, clean and bright. Very small tear emanating from the tuck-in part of one large end flap.
One of the most sought-after Gerry Anderson inspired Dinky models!
