Lady Penelope's car was a heavily-modified pink Rolls-Royce called FAB 1, also styled FAB1 and Fab One, which was also the number plate of the vehicle. It was usually driver by Parker, Penelope's butler and chauffeur.
Capabilities
The Rolls-Royce was heavily-modified to better suit Lady Penelope's profession as a special agent. (COMIC: Mr. Steelman et al.) As she noted, there was only one FAB 1 and it was for this reason that the garage of her yacht Seabird I was bomb-proof. The car was bullet-proof and could withstand sustained gunfire from automatic rifles. A "travelling arsenal", FAB 1 could retaliate with firepower of its own. Two guns could be revealed and fired by pressing a button on the car's dashboard.
Another device on the dashboard was the automatic signal map. It tracked the location of Roger Lyon's car, an agent of Lady Penelope's, and alerted her when he was in danger. It was also linked to a homing device which told Penelope the location of Roger himself.
In addition to travelling on land, FAB 1 could also traverse the water by enabling its hydrofoils. (COMIC: Mr. Steelman)
History
Just after they had first met, Parker drove Lady Penelope from a house he had been burgling to the Luthvian embassy in FAB 1. On the way they were shot at but Parker returned fire and their assailants' vehicle was sent crashing into a lamppost. They returned to Creighton-Ward Manor soon after retrieving some important blueprints. The next day, the car alerted Penelope to the danger which Roger Lyon was in and led them to the site of his crashed car. They followed the signal further until it went out to sea at which point FAB 1 was loaded onto Seabird 1. The yacht was destroyed but the car's hydrofoils were used to transport its occupants to Naples. The duo then drove to Mr Steelman's base in Pompeii with the car and, after the adventure was over, FAB 1 was loaded onto a Fireflash and returned to England. (COMIC: Mr. Steelman)
Lady Penelope and Parker used FAB 1 to reach an airport so that they could get on a Fireflash bound for Unity City and help catch the Kaplan's killer. (COMIC: Assassination!, Lady Penelope)
