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 pink stripes on the sliding roof. Version with small circular detail on the wheels and a more protruding central section.
Gold interior and both original seated figures of Lady Penelope and Parker. It comes complete with an intact bonnet emblem, jewelled headlights and complete front & rear number plates.
The Fab 1 is in beautiful, unused condition, with barely a mark. Presents very well indeed.
The sliding roof is the version with pink strip detail (early version). The car comes complete with a firing rocket and four rear harpoons in a clear plastic (probably later) packet.
The colourful card stand is bright, clean and complete. A couple of tiny wheel slot tears and a few very small light scuffs.
The pictorial card box is complete and brightly-coloured. Light age/handling wear.
One of the most sought-after Gerry Anderson inspired Dinky models!
