As I've already mentioned, I grew up watching the likes of the
Fourth through
Seventh Doctors on TV, but managed to get my extra
Doctor Who fix from catching re-runs of the
Third Doctor's adventures, starring
Jon Pertwee as the alien
Time Lord, on
BBC2.
Original Bessie car on display at the Doctor Who Experience
This incarnation of the
Doctor spent much of his time exiled on
Earth, reluctantly working as a scientific advisor for the militaristic
UNIT (then called the
United Nations Intelligence Taskforce), and this canary-yellow vintage roadster named
'Bessie' was his main means of transportation during that time.
Photographed on display in the foyer of the
Doctor Who Experience in
Cardiff Bay, Wales on May 20, 2013, this original car from the classic
British sci-fi series first made her appearance in 1970's
Doctor Who and the Silurians episode.
Whilst the car was predominately driven by
Jon Pertwee's Doctor, the modified antique roadster was also used by the
Fourth and
Seventh Doctors.
You have to love that
Who 1 license plate.
Stay tuned for more fabulously nostalgic
Doctor Who delights in the days to come.
