Somebody finally put together a website for this great car from Doctor Who... and I finally noticed! freespace.virgin.net/dr.dean/Edit: No-one seems to have gone to quite as much trouble over The Doctor's other car, maybe because it was custom-built, and you'll never find another one: sparesman.com/whomo.html |

That first link of the Bessie build qualifies as a serious labor of love project, requiring quite a bit of know how and elbow grease.
Around '86 or '88 there was a US Dr. Who tour. It was a short trailer truck that you walked into at one end and emerged from the other. I remember some heavy cheese about it, but no specifics about the exhibits other than that Bessie was in attendance, roped off.
They must've had another trailer for her. There was also a merchandise booth as well w/ tshirts and such. The DW RPG had recently been released and I do recall picking up a couple pewter/lead miniatures. Pertwee and SJ I think...
Whether this was really Bess or a mockup I do not know. It was cool to see it though and I do recall that that was the main/sole reason I went. Couldn't tell you where in CT the exhibit was, how long or far it toured or anything else about it. Some digging could probably turn up some details.

Here we are, but not a lot of details: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_in_America"In 1986, BBC Enterprises organized the Doctor Who USA Tour, a two-year traveling exhibition of props and memorabilia from the program, showcased in a 48-foot trailer decorated with alien landscapes from the show, as well police box entrances, and a mock-up of the TARDIS interior. Many tour stops included guest appearances from cast members." We did not have any cast members show up. Even better... www.drwhoexhibitions.co.uk/usatour.htm |

Congrats on finally 'meeting' the Doctor, Drago. With over 100 shows (comprised of 2-14, 1/2hr episodes each), 10 Doctors, dozens of companions and more aliens than you can shake a sonic screwdriver at, you've got plenty of history to dive into. Enjoy! There's some great sci-fi in there going back to the earliest days in 1963. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who |
