The new FAB 1, created by Ford of Europe's design team, brings the larger-than-life limousine into the 21st century – lower, sleeker and even more grand.

FAB 1 has a central part in the 2004 feature film "Thunderbirds" with "International Rescue", the fictional organisation that saves the world where other forces fail. In the hands of Lady Penelope's faithful butler and chauffeur, Parker, FAB 1 can travel on land, air or sea. Inside, Lady Penelope travels in style and luxury. Sitting in her throne-like seat, she is surrounded by wood, leather, sheepskin and chrome. And, of course, what other colour can FAB 1 be finished in but her signature pink?
