built to look like the pink Rolls-Royce Lady Penelope drove in the 60s British marionette series Thunderbirds.

The exterior is entirely painted in light pink with a pearl grill, hood and windshield surround. The wheel centers are also pink, and the interior has been covered with pink carpets and pink leather trim over crème leather seats. The included umbrellas are also specially done in pink, and the headrests each have the pink ribbon that symbolizes breast cancer. The treadplates are etched with FAB1.

The car also has features like veneered picnic tables, 9.2in LCD screens, a coolbox and 10-speaker stereo.

“When I received the call from Chris Evans to support FAB1 Million, we immediately sprang into action. It’s taken countless hours to create such a special car but every minute spent is absolutely worth it for such a valuable cause. We wish the project every success," said Jolyon Nash, Rolls-Royce Sales and Marketing Director.

The FAB1 Million project aims to raise £1 million for Breast Cancer Care by offering the FAB1 Rolls-Royce as a hire car and holding charity events during the year. The FAB1 Ghost will be available for hire for the next 12 months and will show up at exclusive events during the year. 

Breast Cancer Care offers free help and advice to women dealing with the disease.

The project will begin on April 18 with the car driving from Land's End to John O'Groats, the longest distance between inhabited points in Britain.
