Sparkrobot Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I know a lot of you like Gerry Anderson's work especially Thunderbirds. A local UK newspaper has found some old archive pictures of when Lady Penelope visited Guildford town in the 60s. https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/nostalgia/fab-1-thunderbirds-guildford-street-17550924 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddalek Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Wow..That must have been something to see....That car is awesome looking. Gerry Anderson really gave England some good sci fi inspiration and enjoyment for all. wonderful, thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I would have flipped out as a kid seeing that and probably thought it was the actual car from the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkrobot Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Andy Morb and Gold The shame is I don't think that this rare example of a cool UK custom car has survived. Unlike the USA where I'm guessing they appreciate The original Batmobile, The Monkees, The Munsters, The Green Hornet cars they are all probably in Museums.

Tinplate6 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I would almost bet there was not a real "modified Rolls" under that body work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkrobot Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 If it was built by the 1960s Doctor Who special effects department it was probably a pedal car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
