FAB 1 is the codename for Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward's luxury six-wheeled saloon. While a common and dazzling sight, few people who see the car would guess what lies beneath the bonnet. At the flick of a switch, Penelope's chauffeur, Parker, can transform the saloon into a supersonic jet, capable of carrying Her Ladyship to Tracy Island in a matter of hours. Should a gentler pace be required, then FAB 1 is just as much at home on water, where hydrofoils extend beneath the chassis, allowing it to skim over the water at speeds in excess of 170 kilometres per hour.
