 This year will also see a special display of the iconic British TV series "Doctor Who". Appearing will be a car used by the BBC in promotion of the 3rd Doctor's car, known as "Bessie".  Here’s a little history about this very British Doctor Who vehicle................

Siva Engineering Sales Company (situated at Weymouth in Dorset) made these particular “body kits”.   The kit was designed to fit directly to a Ford 8 or 10 chassis built between 1937 and 1959 - although most were probably built on the 103E Popular.  

The contents included the body shell, seats, bonnet, foam seat cushions, mudguards, wheel trims and the brackets to hold them all together! "Bessie"was built by the Siva factory for the BBC. This particular car has a 1962 1200cc Ford Anglia (105E) engine and gearbox. Together with the car, will be a Tardis and Dalek on the display.
