FAB1 is the name given to the six wheeled, pink Rolls-Royce in the Thunderbirds TV Series. Owned by Lady Penelope Creighton Ward, her chauffeur Parker sits at the center front of the passenger compartment under a bubble canopy. This car is like a James Bond style vehicle with gadgets and gizmos including guns and even a hydrofoil. Rolls Royce actually supplied a radiator grille with Spirit of Ecstasy for the car.
In the 2004 film version, the car was still pink, had six wheels and a glass canopy (now tinted) but Rolls Royce threatened legal action if the Rolls Royce name was used - this was considered slightly ironic, as Rolls Royce's new Phantom was heavily compaired to FAB1 when it was first introduced.
Ford were then approached and could not have been more helpful. The replacement FAB1 was - fittingly - a heavily modified Ford Thunderbird supplied by the Ford Motor Company.
Lady Penelope also ownes a yacht, FAB2, and a winning racehorse, FAB3.
