Dinky Toys No. 100 FAB 1 (Tall Version) Reproduction Box

“Parker… FAB 1 if you please.”

Step back into the glamorous world of Thunderbirds with this beautifully crafted Dinky Toys No. 100 FAB 1 (Tall Version) Reproduction Box. Faithfully recreated from the original packaging, this high-quality reproduction captures the elegance and excitement of one of the most iconic vehicles ever to appear in Gerry Anderson’s legendary television series.

Driven by the ever-loyal Parker and owned by the sophisticated Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, FAB 1 was far more than a luxury six-wheeled Rolls-Royce. Beneath its unmistakable pink bodywork lay an extraordinary machine equipped with hidden weapons, bulletproof armour, aircraft tracking systems and every gadget needed to assist International Rescue on its most dangerous missions. Its appearances in Thunderbirds made it one of the most recognisable television vehicles of the 1960s.

When Dinky Toys released No. 100 FAB 1 in 1966, it quickly became one of the company’s most successful die-cast models. Packed with working features and finished in its famous pink livery, it became a favourite with children and collectors alike. The tall version of the original box, with its distinctive illustrated artwork and clear display window, has since become a highly desirable piece of memorabilia in its own right.

Why you’ll want it:

Finding an original Dinky No. 100 FAB 1 tall box in excellent condition is becoming increasingly difficult. Many have suffered from crushed corners, torn end flaps, faded colours or damaged cellophane windows after decades of storage. This faithful reproduction gives collectors the opportunity to restore their cherished model to its original showroom appearance without the cost of sourcing an original vintage box.

Whether you’re displaying a pristine example or bringing a childhood favourite back to life, this reproduction box provides the perfect finishing touch.

Our Dinky bubble toys boxes were recently featured in Diecast Collector magazine.

Editor Rick Wilson described our boxes as “Wonderful”, “Splendid” and “Fabulous”.

He also purchased a couple for his own collection.

Please Note: In some instances some of the reproduction Bubble tops we supply may have some creasing to the plastic . This is due to the fact that originals were done on a much more powerful and professional vacuum forming machine.
