Dr-Who - Bessie - Third Doctors Car

A canary-yellow Edwardian roadster, she was a key part of his compensation package from UNIT, and the only specific demand he made of the Brigadier when he agreed to be UNIT's scientific advisor. (TV: Spearhead from Space) Despite being beloved by the Doctor, the car was frequently ridiculed and underestimated by the Doctor's friends. Heavily tricked out, the car's many modifications often bewildered his associates. (TV: The Dæmons, The Time Monster, Battlefield) The Brigadier in particular was dismissive of the car's abilities and, at least early on, didn't even believe it was capable of basic locomotion. (TV: The Ambassadors of Death)

The Doctor made several modifications to Bessie during his time at UNIT. These included: a conversion engine, which made Bessie (The Whomobile) completely carbon neutral, nullifying all forms of carbon emission; (AUDIO: Terror of the Master) an anti-theft force field, (TV: The Ambassadors of Death) which magnetically trapped anyone attempting to steal Bessie; a remote control, (TV: The Dæmons) with which the Doctor could steer the car from a distance, and enabling him to prevent the Master's attempt to escape following the events at Devil's End; and a minimum inertia hyperdrive, which allowed him to drive at breakneck speed and still come to a sudden stop without the car's occupants being tossed through the windscreen by inertia, which the brakes absorbed. The Doctor made use of this inertia absorption to overtake the Brigadier's Land Rover after Lethbridge-Stewart had declined to travel in Bessie in fear of the car's reliability. (TV: The Time Monster)

The Third Doctor claimed that she could even outperform a Formula One racing vehicle, as a result of his modifications. (AUDIO: Terror of the Master)
