Check out the Whomobile, DoctorWho's futuristic (well, futuristic for 1973) automobile that appeared in at least one episode of the British scifi show.
The futuristic automobile appeared in at least one episode of the legendary British sci-fi show. But it also made a guest appearance on a popular children’s TV show in 1973.
While children watching at home may have been eager to hear that the Whomobile uses some kind of sci-fi magic to glide over the ground, Pertwee description is rather more prosaic, explaining that “it’s on three wheels, one at the front and two at the back.”Realizing that Pertwee may have just shattered the fantastical illusion of Doctor Who for millions of young viewers, the presenter quickly draws attention to the Whomobile’s “air scoop for the jet motors.
Interestingly, the vehicle, which apparently has a top speed of “well over 100 mph,” was commissioned by Pertwee — not the BBC — and built by a guy called Pete Farries who spent much of his time designing and building outlandish automobiles.
