A lot of big names are giving back and helping charities. The people at Rolls Royce are doing their par. This is evident in the 2013 Rolls-Royce FAB1.
The FAB1 lives up to its name, it’s drizzled in an absolutely fabulous shade of pink. A project headed by Chris Evans, Rolls Royce aims to raise over £1 million for Breast Cancer Care through their FAB1.
This car will be available for hire throughout the year and will be showing up at important events.

Bespoke (Tailored)
The Rolls-Royce Bespoke team used a Ghost Extended Wheelbase for the project. They included a special pink bespoke umbrella as well as pink hand-stitched interior and headrests which showcase a beautifully embroidered Breast Cancer Care ribbons.
The little enhancements are what make the FAB1 so unique. Tread plates that have the “FAB1” name as well as the pink and cream interior really add a spark to this glossy, blushing car.
The Charity
FAB1 Million aims to raise about 1 million pounds for Breast Cancer Care through the iconic Rolls Royce FAB1 Bespoke. The FAB1 is a pink car used in a British television series back in the 1960s, “The Thunderbirds.”
This was driven by the fictional character, Lady Penelope. The project launch was held on April 18, 2013 with a star-studded point-to-point drive using the Rolls Royce FAB1.
The Ghost
Rolls Royce is known for making exquisite vehicles with ample leg room and a comfortable ride for any passenger. The Ghost Extended Wheelbase did not need a lot of modifications in terms of performance.
A handy veneer picnic table was installed along with a 9.2″ LCD screen supported by a 10-channel amplifier to go with the 16 speakers.
What’s a Rolls Royce without a bit of bubbly? This car has a beautiful champagne coolbox which allows anyone to sit back and relax while they enjoy the ride.
