Shall I Bring the Car Round, M'lady? Rolls-Royce creates 'FAB 1' Ghost

Rolls-Royce has produced a customised Ghost inspired by FAB 1 – Lady Penelope’s unique car from the 1960s sci-fi television series, Thunderbirds – in aid of a cancer charity. 

The baby pink, extended-wheelbase Ghost has been built in association with the FAB 1 Project: a charity campaign set up by TV/Radio personality Chris Evans aiming to raise £1m for Breast Cancer Care.
Unique features adopted by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke team include pink accented umbrellas, ‘FAB 1’ treadplates, and hand-embroidered headrests featuring the Breast Cancer Care pink ribbon logo. Being an extended–wheelbase car, the modern Lady Penelope will also enjoy ample legroom.


For 12 months, it will be available to hire for any special occasion, with all proceeds going to the charity. All you need to do is find a Parker to drive it for you.


The project begins on Thursday 18 April, when a star-studded line-up of drivers will whisk FAB 1 from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
