MYSTERY GOLD FAB1

I saw this old auction on Vectis of a varied and rather smart bunch of Thunderbirds vehicles inlcuding a fleet of FAB1's.

One of the FAB1s is a mystery to me. Its the golden metallic brown one between the two pink Dinky's.

There's nothing in the description.

Any ideas?

UPDATE

Here it is, boxed, as featured on Ebay!
Thanks guys for the ID!

PS. They're not cheap!

    Corgi did a dark metallic reddish version of their normal pink one, I think it's that one.

    Although I do not have the Corgi version to check, I would agree, based on photos. I could only find one photo of the Corgi red/brown version, in its box, on line, but this does have the pink canopy framing seen on the model in the box. Of the three large FAB 1 models in the corner, I would say the one on the left is a Dinky, and the two on the right are Corgis.

    Sorry, forgot to add the Corgi red/brown version is a 40th Anniversary Limited Edition of 5000 pieces, according to the box in the photo.

    Fascinating. Thanks all. I didn't know about the red/brown version.
