    Absolutely FABulous

    The sale of the most FABulous model vehicle

     

    Pimlico Road’s Gauntlett Gallery currently has the perfect present for any aspiring Eloise on display in their showroom.

     

    The ½ scale replica of Lady Penelope’s FAB1 – all one needs is one’s own Aloysious “Nosey” Parker

     

    A ½ scale model of Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward’s FAB1 amphibious Rolls-Royce is currently being marketed by the company and represents quite possibly the finest example of any replica of this car made famous by the Thunderbirds science fiction television series.

     

    The car’s leather clad interior

    Priced at £15,000, this brilliant creation of a British mechanic took some 7 years to build and features an electrically adjustable electric leather seat, functioning wipers and a walnut dashboard. Complete with a Spirit of Ecstasy replica model, this 108 inch long by 43 inch vehicle is just waiting to find it’s very own “Nosey” Parker.

    Dmitry Rybolovlev

    This billionaire businessman started out in medicine but soon moved into commerce realising that enterprise would better provide for his family. He was imprisoned on falsified charges of contract murder for 11 months in 1996. Subsequently cleared, Rybolovlev then went on to make his fortune in potassium and banking. This divorced father of two has used his fortune to fund the restoration of many of Russia’s churches and also bought Donald Trump’s former residence, The Masion de L’Amitie in Palm Beach, Florida, for $95 million in 2008. This risk taker also parted with another $88 million in December 2011 to purchase New York’s most expensive apartment for his 22-year old daughter. Rybololev’s passions are surfing and 19th and 20th century art.
