Dinky Toys 100 Lady Penelope's Fab 1
Lady Penelope's Fab 1 by Dinky Toys, No. 100. Very, very near mint/boxed. Later issue with CLEAR SLIDING ROOF and LATE WHEELS. Complete with original bag containing rocket and four harpoons. From The Ground Crew 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 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 5 raised ‘dimples’ on the raised circular section of the wheel centre.
The sliding roof is perfectly intact and slides nicely. The car has a firing rocket and four rear harpoons, still in a clear plastic bag, not stapled to the card stand.
In exceptional condition with a virtually mint original pink finish (not even a little mark on the side raised body line!) Certainly, one of the nicest examples we have seen in a long while.
The colourful card stand is very crisp and bright. A little wear and tear mostly at wheel slots.
Instructions are on the reverse of the card stand, detailing how to fire the front rocket and rear harpoons.
The early issue pictorial card box is clean and bright with vivid colours.Tear to the tuck-in part of one large end flap and very minor wear besides.
One of the most sought-after Gerry Anderson inspired Dinky models!
