FAB 1 is a striking pink Rolls Royce owned by Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward and driven by the inimitable Parker. Outwardly, FAB 1 is simply a powerful, sophisticated six-wheeled vehicle, but beneath the highly polished exterior is a veritable armoury of tricks. From smoke bombs to machine guns, booster jets to hydrofoils, FAB 1 has it all!

Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward is the 26-year-old daughter of aristocrat Sir Hugh Creighton-Ward and his wife Amelia. Penelope inherited her father’s spirit and determination and craved danger, action and intrigue.

Soon after completing her education, she rejected the aristocracy’s endless round of social engagements and became a secret agent. It was while working as the chief operative of the Federal Agents Bureau that Penelope first met Jeff Tracy and she immediately accepted his invitation to become International Rescue’s London Agent.

Aloysius Parker is the last of a long line of faithful Cockney retainers who have served the English aristocracy for centuries. However, unable to follow the family tradition and find employment as a butler, he fell in with various villains in the London underworld who taught him the tricks of the trade.

Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward caught him while he was helping himself to the contents of an oil tycoon’s safe. Penelope had heard of Parker’s superior talents and offered him a working partnership in her espionage activities, as well as employment as butler at Creighton-Ward Mansion and chauffeur of her Rolls Royce FAB 1.
