"Class firteen"

The Reva G-Wiz?

Awesome 👌

wait is this a reupload? I am very sure I already have seen this video.

I have a very vague recollection of seeing this vehicle at the Bingley Hall Girls and Boys exhibition in Birmingham. I was 8 or 9 which means it was 1968 or 1969. I remember being being somewhat impressed.

I am the first person to watch this

😀

"What were they thinking?", I hear you ask: It was the 1960s! There were a lot of drugs around, and LSD was popular, so it probably made sense at the time!

Amphi-Scooter well I think it was more of a publicity stunt. You could probably only 'ride' it on a calm river and lets face it, what respectable Mod would want to get their Parker wet? Nothing wrong with trying though I say. 👍👍

Amphi-Scooter - What could possibly go wrong? I'd love to try one though.

Mixed into those scooters, were also mopeds! I have a feeling Jeremy knew nothing about this scooter, when they made that episode of TG.

Reading these posts takes me back as a kid in 🇦🇺 Australia , we also got the Thunderbirds. I enjoyed them that much that I had to buy the dvd collection and watch them over again . We were lucky to get a diecast of TB2 with a small TB4 in it . Sadly over the years and moving , they disappeared. Now much older and having a family , I was over the moon when now being into Scalextric slot cars , that they started manufacturing movie slot cars , FAB1 being one of them , with both Lady Penelope and Parker inside . Sadly it didnt come with torpedoes or harpoon as that would be a great idea when racing it 😮 , not that I ever would 👍. Anyway grabbed that real quick and it holds pride of possession with my other movie cars. I wasn't impressed with the newer version of the Thunderbirds as it came across a bit to Americanised (sorry guys) . Oh and nearly forgot , I do have the Thunderbird models of the boys . Didnt want to say dolls 😉

I’m so sorry - the speech impediment is driving me to distraction!

Hmm… wonder if someone would make a Thomas fan story regarding Sodor’s version of the Condor train. Maybe star BoCo to pull it.

10:55 i think i can spot little old Brum on that truck! bottom right of the trailer. would love to see you talk about Brum!

used to see these attached to class 117, 121 dmus on the western region out of paddington

Many of the replacement buses are double deckers.

I thought they were Thunderbirds, not Funderbirds

Memories! Only saw it once back in 1968 - we lived in Upton Road in Slough and it came past our home on a low-loader presumably on its way to Century 21 on the Slough Trading Estate (My Dad worked for Mars Limited). It is quite unbelievable that it wasn't immaculately preserved from its creation, wonderful it has been restored but sad it is not in the UK, its rightful home. One more reason the Americans are making a huge comback and we (in the UK and Australia) are going "down the gurgler" fast. no regard for our own (self) preservation, never mind preservation of our history......

Dude it's 2024. How are you uploading in 480p

The biggest mistake they made with the awful 2000s movie was that it was purely a kid's movie whereas the original series was a family series.

Fascinating story and great video! If I may suggest the three wheeler from Only Fools and Horses, or the Land Speeder from Star Wars (which I last saw in the underground car park at Elstree Stutios about ten years ago), maybe even the model car Brum from CBBC as future videos.

Ah.. I was expecting to hear Jay Leno's name there at the end... 😁

I have to admit that I did watch those show when they hit the airwaves in America. I eventually wound up working in the body shop business and have a lot of respect for what went into creating and restoring that behemoth! It was unique to say the least.

You forgot to add Space 1999 to Anderson's credits

If only all cars were like the Fougonetti. It would make the roads a nicer place for all of us.

That was the worst shot in the entire movie. That said, the writing both for Thunderbird 6 and Thunderbirds are Go was absolutely awful and truly a wasted opportunity. At the core was the fundamental mistake of thinking that Thunderbirds was anything more than a kid's fantasy series. Common sense dictates that a 'real Thunderbirds' would be massively impractical, not to mention overwhelmed by the sheer scale of real-world catastrophes.

it was called THUNDERBIRDS, NOT FUNDERBIRDS. And they were BROTHERS, NOT BROVERS. DISLIKED.

2:23 The 2004 FAB 1 was based on a Ford Thunderbird and has the T-Bird logo above the front grille.

I remember seeing this car in Upminster when Lady P and Parker turned up in it to launch one of the first hole in the wall ATMs at the Nat West bank. Long time ago now.

❤❤❤❤❤i m good job 👍💝

Looks like a cheap rip off of Team America.

I was walking home from school with my mum 1969 ish. I had my photo taken in the Fab 1 with some other kids outside Uxbridge odeon. They promised to send my mum a copy of the picture but never did!!!

The made up pink RR from the TV show, as unusual as it is, and made into a real life size version seems quite impractal and not as sleek and refined as an authentic Rolls Royce of the period. Still all good fun I guess.

I've seen several documentaries and episode, but I never realised how big the marionettes were until seeing this. I always pictured them as action figure sized

There were several FAB 1's in the late 60's. The version I worked on was a Vauxhall. It broke half-shafts on a weekly basis.

Did Rolls also freak out over the US VWs with the after market conversions that were copies of the RR fronts?

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

We have definitely gone backwards , this would be a hit now

Could it have been an influence on Tyrrell, Derek Gardner, and the P34?!

Rich assholes and their shiny expensive toys. Fuck 'em.

Thanks muchly .

Damn I miss those old shows like that.

imagine Rolls-Royse, not wanting to involved in the making concept on one most famous Rolls-Royse even imagined, and as it was fictional can from a fictional universe, set in the future how to say the it and supposedly a Rolls-Royse made Rolls-Royse in the puppet (suppermasranation) show, the and RR had gone bankrupt many years ago, the brains, how made now how much of snob Lady P was, stick RR on the front grill would really sold the to her? as the transport for her? and it being all pink too?

Cool

I Say That's a Bit of The Alright *

... on coal or ore trains... Could be seen behind or in front of (typically) an English Electric "Type 3" as these locos were then known as.

These vehicles looked as if they sat on old "Gresley" coach bogies. Seen running into and leaving Tees Yard from close quarters, i.e. the "Engineer's" office on the east end of Thornaby station.

Looks like that car designed by Homer Simpson...

I remember seeing the original, real Fab 1 ‘Rolls Royce’ in Frimley, Camberley in Surrey. It was on sale at the car auctions there
