Dinky 100
Dinky 100 Lady Penelope's Fab 1. Very near mint/boxed. Sought-after early issue in non-fluorescent pink, with clear sliding roof. Silver painted base. With working features. From The Heart of England 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, 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 front & rear number plates (light wear). Correct, 3rd type wheels are very shiny.
The Fab 1 has the occasional negligible mark. Presents very well indeed. Both the rocket and missiles fire!
The sliding roof moves well. The car comes complete with a firing rocket and four rear harpoons.
The colourful card stand is bright, although there is a small area of surface loss to the black background and this has been inked at some time to camouflage it. Small tear to a wheel slot and light wear/rubbing besides.
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 brightly-coloured. Light wear and a couple of small tears to the vulnerable tuck-in area of the large end flaps.
One of the most sought-after Gerry Anderson inspired Dinky models!
